Commentary

A high-end stereo player system announced around the same time as Exclusive P3.
As with the P3, in order to pursue the music quality thoroughly, the technical know-how was poured into it and each piece was hand-made.

EM-10 is used for the phono motor part.
The EM-10 uses a coreless, slotless structure linear torque hole motor that does not cause cocking, resulting in a strong starting torque (3kg-cm).
In addition, in order to obtain stable rotation, In addition, in order to obtain stable rotation, a balanced toy type SHR system (Stable hanging rotor) is used for the bearing structure to reduce side pressure applied to the bearing and lower the center of gravity of the rotating part, achieving an uneven rotation performance of 0.007% and a rotational speed accuracy of 0.002%.

EA-10 is used for the tone arm.
The EA-10 adopts a level variable type oil dump mechanism using reliable silicon oil, which improves traceability and greatly reduces intermodulation distortion that occurs during large amplitude reproduction in the low frequency range.
In addition, by rotating the adjustment ring, the damping is turned off so that the horizontal balance can be easily taken accurately.

In order to flatten the mechanical impedance of the tone arm, we repeatedly analyze and listen to the vibration mode of every part and use a straight tapered pipe made of carbon fiber that is integrated with the head shell. This reduces the vibration of each part in fine details and enables playback with stable sound quality from MM to MC.
To enable the use of commercially available head shells, it is also equipped with an S-shaped universal arm pipe so that it can be used with most cartridges.

The cabinet uses a non-resonant slit-type laminated solid board, and a low-center-of-gravity insulator, which is strong against howling and prevents unnecessary vibration for players, is installed from above inside the body.
In addition, it is finished with an Andes Rosewood natural wood finish and combined with a 5 mm thick smoked acrylic cloth for a simple design.
