It is available in two tonearm configurations and is designed as a high-precision analog source component for serious vinyl listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal compare to the Pro-Ject X2 B or Rega Planar 6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 110 Metal sits above the Pro-Ject X2 B and Rega Planar 6 in terms of chassis mass and material quality. Where the Rega Planar 6 uses a lightweight phenolic resin plinth and an external Neo PSU for speed control, and the Pro-Ject X2 B combines an MDF and aluminum sandwich chassis with an Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge, the Solid 110 Metal uses a full all-aluminum construction throughout, a heavier 6 kg platter, and Teflon-and-silicone multi-stage resonance decoupling at every structural joint. The Microcontroller M2 quartz oscillator also offers real-time fine speed adjustment not available on either competing model as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge. This allows the buyer to select a cartridge that matches their phono stage, system character, and budget. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge matching for either tonearm configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Microcontroller M2 and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Microcontroller M2 is Acoustic Solid's proprietary motor control system using a quartz crystal oscillator as its speed reference. It governs the Berger Lahr synchronous motor to maintain a synchronization accuracy of 0.08%, verified with an Ortofon measuring computer. It also allows one-touch switching between 33.3 and 45 rpm with real-time fine adjustment at any point during playback, without stopping the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and setup support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 110 Metal requires an external phono stage, as none is built into the turntable. The appropriate phono stage will depend on the cartridge chosen — a moving magnet cartridge requires an MM phono input, while a moving coil cartridge requires an MC phono stage with appropriate gain and loading. Vinyl Sound can recommend compatible phono stage options from brands such as Pro-Ject, Nagaoka, or Lehmann Audio to complete the analog front end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Solid","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge)","offer_id":42649332875516,"sku":"AS-SOLID110","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package","offer_id":42649332908284,"sku":"AS-SOLID110-TP1","price":4415.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/AcousticSolid-Solid110MetalPolishedTurntable.png?v=1776995053"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-solid-110-metal-aluminum-matte-turntable","title":"Acoustic Solid - Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Solid - Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte Turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Package 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only!

It is available in two tonearm configurations and shares identical internal engineering with the Solid 110 Metal Polished variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Solid 110 Metal Polished and the Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte and Solid 110 Metal Polished are mechanically identical — same 6 kg platter, Berger Lahr motor, Microcontroller M2, bearing assembly, and resonance decoupling system. The distinction is purely aesthetic: the Polished variant features a mirror-polished aluminum finish, while the Matte variant presents a subdued, brushed matte aluminum surface suited to listeners who prefer a more understated look in their listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal compare to the Pro-Ject X2 B or Rega Planar 6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 110 Metal sits above the Pro-Ject X2 B and Rega Planar 6 in chassis mass and material quality. Where the Rega Planar 6 uses a lightweight phenolic resin plinth with an external Neo PSU for speed control, and the Pro-Ject X2 B combines an MDF and aluminum sandwich chassis, the Solid 110 Metal uses a full all-aluminum construction throughout with a heavier 6 kg platter and Teflon-and-silicone multi-stage resonance decoupling at every structural joint. The Microcontroller M2 quartz oscillator also provides real-time fine speed adjustment not available on either competing model as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge that best matches their phono stage and system. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for either tonearm configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Aluminum Matte is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and full setup support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage does the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 110 Metal requires an external phono stage, as none is built into the turntable. The appropriate phono stage depends on the cartridge selected — a moving magnet cartridge requires an MM phono input, while a moving coil cartridge requires an MC stage with suitable gain and loading. Vinyl Sound can recommend compatible phono stage options to complete the analog front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Solid","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge)","offer_id":42649365348604,"sku":"AS-SOLID110","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package","offer_id":42649365414140,"sku":"AS-SOLID110-P","price":4415.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/AcousticSolid-Solid110MetalAluminumMatteTurntable.png?v=1776995487"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-solid-111-metal-turntable","title":"Acoustic Solid - Solid 111 Metal Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Solid - Solid 111 Metal Turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only!

At 7 kg and 35 mm thick — compared to 6 kg and 30 mm on the 110 Metal — the 111 Metal's aluminum platter stores significantly more rotational energy, reducing the effect of stylus drag on speed consistency during playback. The platter is CNC-precision turned and hand-polished, and is paired with a felt support mat and 3 mm Plexiglas pad at the record interface. The overall chassis weight of 19 kg without tonearm further contributes to mechanical stability and isolation from external vibration sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-Aluminum Construction and Resonance Decoupling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal is built entirely from aluminum, with a 25 mm base carrier plate and feet decoupled from the chassis via Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers. The stainless steel bearing axle is housed in a cast liner and cast bearing bottom, itself damped with additional Teflon discs, with a polished ceramic ball at the contact point for low-friction, low-noise rotation. Height adjustment is provided via threaded spikes decoupled by felt feet. The Berger Lahr synchronous motor drives the platter through a Nylon-silicone mixture belt, and the Microcontroller M2 with quartz crystal oscillator governs speed with real-time fine adjustment at 33.3 and 45 rpm, selectable at the touch of a button without stopping playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7 kg, 35 mm Aluminum Platter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger and heavier than the Solid 110 Metal, the CNC-turned and hand-polished platter delivers greater rotational inertia and improved speed consistency under stylus load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e19 kg Total Chassis Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavier overall construction than the Solid 110 Metal for superior mechanical stability and resistance to external vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrocontroller M2 with Crystal Oscillator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz-referenced motor control achieves 0.08% speed synchronization with one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBerger Lahr Synchronous Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e German-made synchronous motor with Nylon-silicone belt drive isolates motor noise and vibration from the platter and bearing assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Layer Resonance Decoupling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teflon disc and silicone damper isolation at the 25 mm base carrier plate, feet, and bearing housing suppresses structural and airborne resonance throughout the chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolished Ceramic Ball Bearing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ground stainless steel axle with cast bearing housing and polished ceramic ball contact point for smooth, low-friction rotation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFelt and Plexiglas Platter Mat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Felt support mat with 3 mm Plexiglas pad for optimal record contact and vibration damping at the record interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Tonearm Packages:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available with the WTB-370 (Package 1) or WTB-213 (Package 2) tonearm — cartridge not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;

Weighing 19 kg without tonearm, it is a step above the Solid 110 Metal in platter mass, chassis weight, and rotational stability, available in two tonearm configurations with no cartridge included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal and the Solid 111 Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal upgrades the Solid 110 Metal in three key areas: platter mass increases from 6 kg to 7 kg, platter thickness increases from 30 mm to 35 mm, and total chassis weight increases from 12 kg to 19 kg. These changes deliver greater rotational inertia, improved resistance to stylus drag, and enhanced mechanical isolation from external vibration. The motor control system, bearing assembly, Berger Lahr motor, and Teflon-silicone decoupling philosophy are shared across both models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal compare to the Thorens TD 1601 or VPI Scout Master?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal competes with the Thorens TD 1601 and VPI Scout Master in the serious analog front-end category. The Thorens TD 1601 uses a suspended sub-chassis design with an SME-compatible tonearm mount, while the VPI Scout Master relies on a heavy MDF and aluminum plinth with a unipivot tonearm. The Solid 111 Metal differentiates itself through its full all-aluminum unsuspended construction, significantly heavier 19 kg chassis, and quartz-locked Microcontroller M2 speed control — an approach that prioritizes mechanical mass and material rigidity over suspension-based isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge suited to their phono stage, system character, and budget. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for either tonearm configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and full setup support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage does the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal requires an external phono stage, as none is built into the turntable. The correct phono stage depends on the cartridge chosen — a moving magnet cartridge requires an MM phono input, while a moving coil cartridge requires an MC stage with appropriate gain and impedance loading. Vinyl Sound can recommend compatible phono stage options to complete the analog front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Solid","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Polished","offer_id":42653044605180,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-P","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653072589052,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-AM","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Polished","offer_id":42653044637948,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-P-P","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653072621820,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-P-AM","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/as-aluminum-solid-111-metal-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1646471548"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-solid-311-metal-turntable","title":"Acoustic Solid - Solid 311 Metal Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Solid - Solid 311 Metal Turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only!

Built on the same all-aluminum chassis architecture as the Solid 110 Metal, the 311 Metal introduces a critical engineering distinction: a \u003cstrong\u003edual-belt drive system\u003c\/strong\u003e using two Nylon-silicone belts driving a \u003cstrong\u003e6 kg, 30 mm thick CNC-machined aluminum platter\u003c\/strong\u003e, paired with a high-gloss aluminum motor housing that integrates the Berger Lahr synchronous motor and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal control into a single unit. Speed synchronization is measured at \u003cstrong\u003e0.08%\u003c\/strong\u003e with an Ortofon measuring computer, with one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment.

Where the Solid 110 and 111 Metal use a single Nylon-silicone belt, the 311 Metal employs two belts running simultaneously from the motor to the platter. This arrangement distributes drive force more evenly around the platter circumference, reduces the lateral load on the bearing from belt tension, and further isolates motor-induced micro-vibration from the platter. The result is a more consistent transfer of rotational energy and a lower noise floor at the stylus-groove interface, without increasing platter mass or chassis footprint beyond the 110 Metal's dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntegrated Motor and Controller Housing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Solid 110 Metal where the motor and controller are separate, the Solid 311 Metal integrates the Berger Lahr synchronous motor and the Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal oscillator into a single high-gloss aluminum housing. This consolidated design shortens the signal path between controller and motor, reduces external wiring, and presents a cleaner, more unified aesthetic on the listening room shelf. The Microcontroller M2 maintains 0.08% synchronization accuracy, with both 33.3 and 45 rpm selectable at the touch of a button and fine adjustment available at any time during playback. The 50 mm base carrier plate and feet remain fully decoupled via Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers, with height adjustment through threaded spikes on felt

Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal is a belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a dual-belt drive system, a 6 kg CNC-machined aluminum platter, and an integrated high-gloss aluminum housing combining the Berger Lahr synchronous motor and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal speed control. It weighs 12 kg without tonearm and is available in two tonearm configurations with no cartridge included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal and the Solid 311 Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 311 Metal and Solid 110 Metal share the same platter mass, chassis dimensions, and base carrier plate specification. The 311 Metal's key upgrade is its dual-belt drive system, which replaces the single belt of the 110 Metal with two parallel Nylon-silicone belts for more even torque distribution and lower bearing lateral load. The 311 Metal also integrates the Microcontroller M2 and Berger Lahr motor into a single high-gloss aluminum housing, where the 110 Metal keeps these as separate units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal compare to the Clearaudio Concept or Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 311 Metal sits in a similar tier to the Clearaudio Concept and Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon as a serious analog front end with precision motor control. The Clearaudio Concept uses a magnetic bearing and single belt, while the Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon features a carbon fiber tonearm and single-belt AC synchronous motor. The Solid 311 Metal differentiates itself through its dual-belt drive architecture, full all-aluminum unsuspended construction, and integrated quartz-locked motor controller — a combination not offered as standard by either competitor at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the Solid 311 Metal use two belts instead of one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-belt system on the Solid 311 Metal distributes the drive force from the Berger Lahr motor across two contact points on the platter circumference rather than one. This reduces the net lateral force on the platter bearing from belt tension, lowers the transmission of motor-induced micro-vibration to the platter, and delivers more consistent rotational energy transfer — all contributing to a lower noise floor and more stable speed under stylus load compared to a single-belt arrangement of equivalent tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge that best suits their phono stage, system character, and budget.

This triple-belt arrangement distributes rotational force across three equidistant contact points on the platter circumference, further reducing net lateral bearing load and minimizing motor-induced micro-vibration at the stylus interface. The result is a synchronization figure of 0.06% — the tightest speed accuracy in the Acoustic Solid Metal series — governed by the Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal oscillator with real-time fine adjustment at both 33.3 and 45 rpm, selectable without stopping playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e35 mm Aluminum Plinth with Triple Tonearm Capability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Machine's 35 mm thick aluminum plinth is the structural foundation for a turntable built without compromise. Three individually adjustable feet, each decoupled by Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers, provide precise leveling on any surface. The plinth is machined with provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard — a configuration that allows the simultaneous use of three different tonearms and cartridge combinations without any modification or additional hardware.

Machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine is the flagship belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a triple-belt Berger Lahr synchronous motor drive, a 12.5 kg, 60 mm thick CNC-machined aluminum platter, a 35 mm thick aluminum plinth with mounting provision for up to three tonearms, and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal speed control achieving 0.06% synchronization. It weighs 35 kg without tonearm and is available in polished or matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine compare to the Solid 311 Metal and Solid 111 Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Machine sits decisively above the Solid 311 Metal and Solid 111 Metal in every measurable specification. Platter mass increases from 6-7 kg to 12.5 kg, platter thickness doubles from 30-35 mm to 60 mm, total chassis weight rises to 35 kg, and the drive system upgrades from single or dual belt to a triple-belt configuration with a separately housed motor. Speed synchronization tightens from 0.08% to 0.06%, and the plinth gains provision for three simultaneous tonearm mounts — a capability absent from every other model in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine compare to the Clearaudio Statement or TechDAS Air Force III?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Machine competes in the upper tier of serious reference turntables alongside the Clearaudio Statement and TechDAS Air Force III. Where the Clearaudio Statement uses a magnetic bearing and dual-motor drive, and the TechDAS Air Force III relies on an air bearing platter and vacuum hold-down, the Solid Machine takes a different approach: extreme mechanical mass, triple-belt torque distribution, and quartz-locked speed control without air pumps, vacuum systems, or magnetic levitation. For listeners who prefer a direct, purely mechanical approach to speed stability, the Machine presents a compelling alternative to air-bearing and magnetic-bearing reference designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine run three tonearms at once?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Solid Machine's 35 mm aluminum plinth is machined with provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard. This allows the simultaneous installation of three different tonearms, each fitted with a different cartridge, enabling instant switching between moving magnet, moving coil, or mono cartridge setups without removing or re-cueing a stylus. It is one of very few turntables at any level to offer triple tonearm capability without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select cartridges suited to each tonearm, phono stage, and system character. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for any of the three tonearm positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and full setup support for this reference-level analog front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Solid","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Unit (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Polished","offer_id":42653179805948,"sku":"AS-SM-P","price":9165.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turntable Unit (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653179838716,"sku":"AS-SM-AM","price":9165.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Polished","offer_id":42653179871484,"sku":"AS-SM-P-P","price":9665.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653179904252,"sku":"AS-SM-P-AM","price":9665.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/as-aluminum-solid-machine-alu-pure-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1646473272"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-solid-machine-small-r-turntable","title":"Acoustic Solid - Solid Machine Small R Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Solid - Solid Machine Small R Turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage 1\u003cspan\u003e contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only!

CNC-precision turned and hand-polished, the platter is dressed with a genuine leather mat and a 3 mm Plexiglas pad at the record interface. Drive is delivered via two Nylon-silicone belts from a separately housed Berger Lahr synchronous motor, distributing rotational force across two contact points on the platter circumference and reducing the net lateral load on the bearing from belt tension. The motor is housed independently from the plinth, further isolating motor-induced vibration from the platter and bearing assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMicrocontroller M3 and Triple Tonearm Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Small R introduces Acoustic Solid's upgraded Microcontroller M3 with quartz crystal oscillator — an improvement over the M2 used across the Solid 110, 111, 311, and Brake models — with the same one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment without interrupting playback. The 35 mm thick aluminum plinth shares its architecture with the flagship Solid Machine, including provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard, enabling simultaneous use of multiple tonearms and cartridge combinations. Three individually adjustable feet, each decoupled by Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers, provide precise leveling on any surface.

Small R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R is a dual-belt string-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a 10 kg, 50 mm thick single-billet aluminum platter, a 35 mm thick aluminum plinth with triple tonearm mounting capability, and the upgraded Microcontroller M3 quartz crystal speed control. It weighs 22 kg without tonearm, fits within the compact 310 x 310 mm footprint of the smaller Metal series models, and is available in polished or matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R and the Solid Machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Small R and the flagship Solid Machine share the same 35 mm aluminum plinth architecture, triple tonearm mounting capability, and separately housed motor concept. The Solid Machine steps above with a heavier 12.5 kg, 60 mm thick platter, a triple-belt drive system, and a tighter 0.06% synchronization figure. The Small R uses a 10 kg, 50 mm single-billet platter with dual-belt drive and achieves 0.08% synchronization, while introducing the upgraded M3 controller and fitting within a more compact 310 x 310 mm footprint — making it the entry point into Acoustic Solid's Machine-class architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Microcontroller M3 and how does it differ from the M2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Microcontroller M3 is Acoustic Solid's upgraded motor control system introduced on the Solid Machine Small R, stepping above the M2 used across the Solid 110, 111, 311, and Brake models. Both use a quartz crystal oscillator as the speed reference and offer one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching with real-time fine adjustment. The M3 represents a refined generation of the same control philosophy, with improved circuit implementation for more stable motor governance at the quartz reference frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R run three tonearms simultaneously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Small R's 35 mm aluminum plinth includes provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard, identical in capability to the flagship Solid Machine. This allows simultaneous installation of three tonearms with different cartridges — for example, a moving magnet, a moving coil, and a mono cartridge — enabling instant switching between setups without stylus changes or remounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select cartridges suited to each tonearm and phono stage.

Where the Edition differentiates itself structurally is in its plinth: at 40 mm thick, it is 5 mm thicker than the Solid Machine's 35 mm plinth, increasing chassis rigidity and further reducing the transmission of structural vibration from the listening surface to the bearing and platter assembly. The 350 x 350 mm footprint also provides a wider, more stable base than the compact 310 x 310 mm chassis used by the smaller Metal series models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDual-Belt Drive with Separately Housed Motor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Edition's Berger Lahr synchronous motor is independently housed in a high-gloss aluminum enclosure, physically separated from the plinth to prevent motor-induced vibration from reaching the bearing and platter. Two Nylon-silicone belts transmit drive force from the motor to the platter at two equidistant contact points, distributing rotational load evenly and reducing the lateral bearing force inherent in single-belt designs. The Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal oscillator governs motor speed to 0.06% synchronization — matching the flagship Solid Machine and bettering the 0.08% figure of the Solid 110, 111, 311, and Brake models — with one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment available at any point during playback.

The Edition differentiates itself with a thicker 40 mm plinth versus the Machine's 35 mm, a larger 350 x 350 mm footprint for greater stability, and a dual-belt rather than triple-belt drive configuration. The Solid Machine uses three belts and the upgraded Microcontroller M2 in a more compact chassis; the Edition prioritizes plinth rigidity and footprint stability with two belts and the same M2 controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Edition compare to the SME Model 12 or Transrotor ZET 3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Edition sits in the same upper-reference tier as the SME Model 12 and Transrotor ZET 3. The SME Model 12 uses a sub-chassis suspension design with SME's own tonearm, while the Transrotor ZET 3 relies on a heavy acrylic and aluminum platter with magnetic drive assist. The Solid Edition takes a purely mechanical, unsuspended approach with a 40 mm solid aluminum plinth, 12.5 kg platter, and dual-belt isolated motor — prioritizing mass, rigidity, and quartz-locked speed accuracy without suspension tuning or magnetic assistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Solid Edition run three tonearms simultaneously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

This single-billet approach eliminates every structural joint, bonding layer, and potential resonance path present in assembled or multi-piece platter designs. The rotational inertia of 15 kg at 70 mm thickness is the highest of any Acoustic Solid turntable, delivering exceptional resistance to stylus drag and the most stable platter speed the brand has achieved. Beneath it, the 80 mm thick aluminum plinth — double the thickness of the Solid Machine's 35 mm plinth and twice the rigidity of the Solid Edition's 40 mm plinth — sits on a 440 x 440 mm footprint, the widest and most stable chassis base in the lineup. Three individually adjustable feet, each decoupled by Teflon discs, provide precise leveling, and the plinth carries provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMicrocontroller M4 and String Drive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Royal introduces Acoustic Solid's most advanced motor control system, the Microcontroller M4 with quartz crystal oscillator — a further development beyond the M3 used in the Solid Machine Small R and the M2 used across the rest of the range. The M4 governs a separately housed synchronous motor via string drive, with the motor unit physically isolated from the plinth in its own enclosure to prevent any motor-induced vibration from reaching the bearing or platter. One-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching with real-time fine adjustment is retained, as on every Acoustic Solid model. The royal blue natural leather mat paired with a 5 mm Plexiglas pad is unique to the Royal within the Acoustic Solid lineup, providing both a distinctive visual signature and a purpose-selected record

80 mm thick aluminum plinth with triple tonearm mounting capability, and the brand's most advanced Microcontroller M4 quartz crystal motor control driving a separately housed synchronous motor via string drive. It weighs approximately 50 kg without tonearm and is supplied with the WTB-213 tonearm in polished or matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Royal compare to the Solid Machine and Solid Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Royal surpasses both the Solid Machine and Solid Edition at every specification point. Platter mass increases from 12.5 kg to 15 kg, platter thickness from 60 mm to 70 mm, and plinth thickness from 35-40 mm to 80 mm. Total chassis weight rises to approximately 50 kg, the footprint expands to 440 x 440 mm, and the motor control upgrades from the M2 to the M4 — Acoustic Solid's most advanced controller. The Royal also introduces single-billet platter construction and the brand's signature royal blue leather mat, neither of which appear on any other model in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Royal compare to the Clearaudio Statement V2 or Kronos Pro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Royal competes at the summit of analog playback alongside the Clearaudio Statement V2 and Kronos Pro. The Clearaudio Statement V2 uses a magnetic bearing with multiple motors, while the Kronos Pro employs a counter-rotating platter to cancel rotational torque effects. The Solid Royal takes an uncompromisingly mechanical approach: a single 15 kg single-billet platter, 80 mm solid aluminum plinth, string drive with physically isolated motor, and the M4 quartz controller — achieving reference-grade speed stability through extreme mass and precision engineering rather than magnetic or counter-rotation systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Microcontroller M4 and how does it differ from the M2 and M3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Microcontroller M4 is Acoustic Solid's most advanced motor control system, exclusive to the Solid Royal. It uses a quartz crystal oscillator as its speed reference — as do the M2 and M3 — but represents the highest development of Acoustic Solid's controller engineering, with the most refined circuit implementation for stable motor governance at the quartz reference frequency. The M2 is used across the Solid 110, 111, 311, Brake, Machine, and Edition models; the M3 was introduced on the Machine Small R; and the M4 is reserved exclusively for the Royal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Solid Royal run three tonearms simultaneously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

It weighs approximately 33 kg without tonearm and is supplied with the WTB-213 tonearm in polished or matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 733 compare to the Solid Edition and Solid Royal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 733 sits between the Solid Edition and the Solid Royal in the Acoustic Solid hierarchy. It shares the Solid Royal's 440 x 440 mm footprint and Microcontroller M4 motor control, while using a 40 mm plinth — thinner than the Royal's 80 mm but matching the Edition — and a 12.5 kg, 50 mm platter rather than the Royal's 15 kg, 70 mm single-billet unit. At approximately 33 kg without tonearm, the 733 is lighter and more practically accommodated than the Royal's 50 kg, while delivering M4-grade speed control in a large-format chassis that the Solid Edition does not offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 733 compare to the Rega Planar 10 or Pro-Ject Signature 12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 733 operates in a different engineering philosophy from the Rega Planar 10 and Pro-Ject Signature 12. The Rega Planar 10 uses an ultra-lightweight skeletal plinth with a ceramic platter and external PSU, while the Pro-Ject Signature 12 combines a sandwich plinth with a carbon fiber tonearm and AC synchronous motor. The Solid 733 takes the opposite approach: a 33 kg all-aluminum mass-loaded chassis, single-billet 12.5 kg platter, physically isolated string-drive motor, and M4 quartz oscillator control — prioritizing mechanical mass and material rigidity over lightweight plinth design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is string drive and how does it differ from belt drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eString drive uses a thin, low-mass string rather than a rubber or Nylon-silicone belt to transmit rotation from the motor pulley to the platter. Because the string has significantly lower mass and elasticity than a conventional belt, it transmits rotational energy with less stored elastic deformation, resulting in more direct and consistent torque delivery. On the Solid 733, the motor is also housed in a separate enclosure from the plinth, further isolating motor-induced vibration from the bearing and platter assembly — a combination that string-drive designs handle more effectively than conventional belt arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 733 come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Solid 733 is supplied with the WTB-213 tonearm but no cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge suited to their phono stage and system character.
