At 23kg with a 10.4kg TPE-damped platter running on a magnetically decoupled inverted ceramic bearing, the Signature 10 is built to eliminate every known source of noise and resonance between the groove and the phono stage. It includes Pro-Ject's own 10\" single-pivot tonearm, balanced 5-pin DIN phono output, and electronic speed change between 33 and 45rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMass Loading + Magnetic Suspension — Both, Not Either\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost high-end turntables choose one approach to vibration isolation: mass loading (heavy plinth, heavy platter, inertial stability) or suspension (sprung sub-chassis, compliant feet). The Signature 10 applies both. The main plinth is filled with \u003cstrong\u003esteel pellets at its central gravity point\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same approach used in Pro-Ject's Xtension and RPM 9\/10 Carbon range — drawing resonance to a single node and dissipating it through the pellets' dispersion effect, without the single resonant frequency of a solid alloy insert. The plinth then sits on \u003cstrong\u003eopposing-magnetic isolation feet\u003c\/strong\u003e that float the entire mass above whatever surface the table rests on. The aluminum sub-chassis is further decoupled from the plinth by \u003cstrong\u003eTPE (thermoplastic elastomer) pillows\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the platter itself is magnetically decoupled from the main bearing. The result is a four-stage mechanical isolation system — plinth-to-surface, sub-chassis-to-plinth, bearing-to-sub-chassis, and platter-to-bearing — each addressed with a different engineering approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e10.4kg Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's platter is precision-machined from aluminium alloy and damped throughout with TPE — achieving near-zero resonance. At 10.4kg, its rotational inertia provides exceptional speed stability without any electronic assist beyond the precision generator motor control. The platter spins on an \u003cstrong\u003einverted ceramic ball-and-plate bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e that is also magnetically decoupled — the magnetic force reduces the effective weight bearing on the ceramic ball to near zero, eliminating friction-generated noise and bearing rumble at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e10\" Single-Pivot Tonearm — Pro-Ject's Own Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 tonearm is a genuine Pro-Ject design — not a re-badged third-party arm — featuring a 10\" (254.8mm effective length) single-pivot geometry in an aluminium tube. Its 15.5g effective mass suits medium-to-high compliance MC cartridges, and the arm ships with an array of counterweights allowing virtually any cartridge weight to be accommodated. A 16mm overhang is set at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced Output — True Reference Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 ships with a standard DIN-to-RCA phono cable for immediate unbalanced use, but its \u003cstrong\u003e5-pin DIN output supports full balanced operation\u003c\/strong\u003e via optional DIN-to-XLR or DIN-to-mini-XLR cables and a balanced phono stage.

The Signature 10 represents a higher tier of isolation and platter mass than the Xtension Evolution range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat cartridges are compatible with the Pro-Ject Signature 10 tonearm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 tonearm has a 15.5g effective mass, placing it in the medium-to-high mass category. It pairs optimally with MC cartridges of low-to-medium compliance (8–16µm\/mN), such as those from Ortofon, Lyra, Benz Micro, and similar brands. The included counterweight set accommodates virtually any cartridge weight in the standard range.

To use it in balanced mode you need a DIN-to-XLR (or DIN-to-mini-XLR) phono cable, an MC cartridge, and a phono stage with balanced XLR inputs. In balanced mode, any noise introduced along the cable run appears equally on both conductors and is cancelled at the phono stage — lowering the noise floor and improving channel separation versus unbalanced RCA operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Pro-Ject Signature 10 a stock item or special order at Vinyl Sound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Signature 10 is a special order product at Vinyl Sound Toronto.

Designed with a smaller footprint and with a 10″ tonearm, it delivers much of 12’s performance in a more compact and less expensive package. Incorporating decades of experience in turntable design and manufacture, Xtension 10 represents Pro-Ject’s technological efforts to address mass-decoupling and resonance reduction. Beginning with the mass-loaded, magnetically-suspended sub-chassis and the precision-balanced sandwich alloy platter (recycled vinyl\/alloy), the foundation of this system weighs in at a just under 50 lbs. Additionally, Pro-Ject employs magnetic decoupling feet to prevent mechanical vibration from disturbing playback. The mass and isolation create an environment of extremely low resonance allowing music to emerge from an ultra-silent background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DC-driven AC motor with a two-step pulley and electronic speed control maintains perfect pitch and rhythm resulting in inaudible wow \u0026amp; flutter. Further reducing noise and vibration is the isolated TPE mounting board for the 10″ carbon-fiber tonearm. The conical arm and integrated headshell are fashioned from a single piece of carbon fiber to avoid problems associated with standing wave reflections. Single-screw fixing of the armtube allows for easy azimuth adjustment if needed. The arm is fully adjustable for VTA and includes a high-performance, purpose-designed DIN-RCA phono cable (1.23m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInside the Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRPM 9 \u0026amp; 10 Carbon, Xtension 9, 10 \u0026amp; 12 Evolution, and Signature 10 \u0026amp; 12 use plinths that are more than meets the eye. These high-end turntables not only use medium-density fiber (MDF, which absorbs resonance), but inside the plinths are also “central gravity points” filled will steel pellets. Drawing harmful resonance to the central gravity point all but eliminates the potential for plinth and bearing noise to reach the tonearm and cartridge. Pellets are used as opposed to a solid alloy due to their dispersion effect where a solid alloy may resonate. This design heightens the overall mass of these turntables as well, a well-known approach to optimizing sonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pro-jectusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Pro-Ject-True-Balanced-Logo.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97911 aligncenter lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pro-jectusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Pro-Ject-True-Balanced-Logo.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pro-jectusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Pro-Ject-True-Balanced-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue Balanced – Get Blown Away\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting us apart from the competition, all Pro-Ject turntables are configured for balanced operation.* Switching to balanced is no subtle upgrade and promises to redefine ‘reference’ sound quality in your turntable system.

Xtension 12 Evolution Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-ject Xtension 12 Evolution Turntable\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is apparent throughout contemporary culture that modern and classical designs are working, more than ever before, in harmony. Countless varying product categories, such as cars, watches and furniture, are all embracing the ever-popular retro trend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reasoning behind this love of ‘retro’ is it’s inherent mix of classical beauty, combined with absolute mechanical precision, high-quality components, and superior performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePro-ject products gave analog a new life in the nineties; our products have successfully shown that you can listen to music in a better way than with any contemporary digital medium, and it doesn’t have to cost the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, now with the Xtension, we at Pro-Ject aim to bring back a classical analog concept from the eighties, and combine it with our advanced contemporary technologies. After eighteen years of turntable manufacturing for analog lovers on a budget, we’re delighted to announce our first deck not subscribed to budgetary limitations; and boy does it deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready, the critically acclaimed 6perspeX has proved the fantastic result of using magnets to isolate the subchassis. So consequently, for the Xtension this technology has been re-developed to utilise new magnetic feet, which almost completely decouple the main plinth. Combine this with the weighty 25 kg total mass of the turntable, and the listener benefi ts from minimal base resonance. This is a unique combination of ‘mass loaded’ and ‘floating turntable’ design principals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with these principles, the platter is metal due to its higher mass than acrylic. However, the old standard adoption of pure metal has been abandoned because of its highly-resonant tendencies. Instead, we’ve found a perfect alloy which we dampened on the inner side with Sorbothane®. Taking this base, we’ve glued recycled Vinyl records to the top (which act as a perfect mat) and bake this ‘sandwich’ before precision balancing it. The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother consideration was the amount of energy the tonearm base would have to take from arm and cartridge movement. These energies have to be controlled, as do those from the motor and the bearing (they have to be kept away from the tonearm to avoid interference). Consequently, the tonearm base on the Xtension also benefits from ‘high-mass’ technologies, and is isolated from the main board by a sheet of Sorbothane®. Importantly though, this board is still able to incorporate the adoption of different tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we originally premised with this turntable, to be in keeping with its ‘classic’ ethos, the Xtension comes with a beautiful dustcover with adjustable hinges, as well as several finish options in a high-gloss lacquer. Ultimately, the Xtension truly delivers a timelessly classic, exclusive analogue experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXtension is available in high gloss lacquer finishes: mahogany, piano and olive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in following options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Mounted tonearm Pro-Ject 12cc Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Mounted tonearm Ortofon RS-309D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Without tonearm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper-heavy 25 kg mass load magnetic floating belt drive design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorbothane® damped ultra precise balanced Sandwich platter out of special alloy combined with Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass record puck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra low noise motor highest selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnet supported, inverted main bearing Type Block 1 with ceramic thrust-pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Speed Box SE for super silent motordrive and electronically switchable speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal-granulate filled plinth for universal damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass loaded interchangeable armboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight adjustable magnet supported feets for perfect isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated RCA phono sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"Olive","offer_id":18729656778809,"sku":"PJ07689266","price":6799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Piano","offer_id":18729656811577,"sku":"PJ07689273","price":6799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany","offer_id":37708620759208,"sku":"PJ35822420","price":6799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/Vinyl_Sound_-_Xtension_12_evolution.jpg?v=1611937572"},{"product_id":"vpi-the-signature-21-turntable","title":"Vpi The Signature 21 Turntable","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"txtNew\" id=\"comp-jjzq6wcv\" data-vertical-text=\"false\" data-packed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"font_7\"\u003eVpi The Signature 21 Turntable\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003eLuxury meets performance all in one package.

A direct evolution of the legendary SP-10 lineage that began in 1970 with the world's first direct drive turntable, the SP-10RS is built around a newly developed double coil twin rotor-type coreless direct drive motor, a 7.9 kg three-layer heavyweight platter, and a separate control unit with an advanced noise reduction circuit, together achieving wow and flutter of 0.015% or less — a figure considered to be at the measurement limit of current test equipment. Supplied as a turntable and separate control unit without plinth or tonearm, the SP-10RS is the foundation for a fully bespoke reference analogue playback system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe SP-10 Legacy Perfected\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP-10 name has defined the standard for professional and audiophile direct drive turntables since 1970. Broadcast stations, mastering studios, and serious collectors around the world used the SP-10MK2 (1975) and SP-10MK3 (1981) as their reference standard for decades. The SP-10RS continues this lineage with a completely new coreless direct drive motor derived from and substantially improved over the motor developed for the SL-1200G in 2016. By offsetting the double-sided coil assembly 60 degrees between its two stator layers, Technics improved substrate rigidity, suppressed fine vibrations, and reduced self-inductance, resulting in a motor of greater precision and stability than any previous SP-10. The thrust bearings supporting the heavyweight platter use a special engineering plastic selected for both high rigidity and long-term reliability under continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeavyweight Platter with Tungsten Outer Weights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP-10RS platter is a three-layer construction combining an aluminium die-cast body, a 10 mm thick brass weight laminated to the aluminium, and tungsten weights positioned on the outer periphery of the brass layer. Tungsten, chosen for its exceptionally high specific gravity and processing difficulty, maximises the rotational inertial mass at the platter's outer edge where it has the greatest effect on speed stability. Total platter weight is approximately 7.9 kg with an inertial mass of approximately 1 ton\/cm. Deadening rubber on the rear surface completes the three-layer construction, providing high rigidity combined with excellent vibration damping to prevent external interference from reaching the stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSeparate Control Unit with Noise Reduction Circuit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control unit is physically separated from the turntable main unit to prevent the power supply from introducing noise into the analogue signal path. The switching power supply within the control unit incorporates a newly developed unwanted noise reduction circuit that provides voltage with minimal noise to the motor drive circuits.

The double coil twin rotor-type coreless direct drive motor that was newly developed for this purpose had coils on both sides for 12-pole, 18-coil drive, with high enough torque to drive the heavyweight-class platter (approximately 7.9-kg). Offsetting the coils on both sides 60 degrees improved the rigidity of the substrate, suppressing fine vibrations and reducing self-inductance. These improvements achieved stable rotation of 0.015% wow and flutter or less, which is considered to be the measurement limit.

These parts are contained in a zinc die-cast housing with high specific gravity, for isolation from external vibrations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img-area mobile-aligncenter\" id=\"img11\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"specs-section\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"focusFirst\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"article nopaddingbottom\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mobile-aligncenter\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fsize-md-22 shsize-xs-13\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mobile-aligncenter\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fsize-md-22 shsize-xs-13\"\u003eSL-1000R Direct Drive Turntable System\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"174\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\" colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTurntable section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Direct Drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Brushless DC motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurntable Speeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 33 1\/3, 45, 78 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjust Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e ±16 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStarting Torque\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 0.39 N・m \/ 4.0 kg･cm (3.47 lb-in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWow And Flutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 0.015 % W.R.M.S.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurntable Platter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Brass and aluminium diecast combined\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 323 mm (12-23\/32\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Approx. 7.9 kg (17.5 lbs)　(including turntable mat)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonearm Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Universal Static Balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e From the tonearm pivot to the stylus \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e From the tonearm pivot to the spindle \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverhang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 15 mm (19\/32 inch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTracking Error Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Within 1° 48' (at the outer groove of 30 cm (12\") record)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e Within 0° 30' (at the inner groove of 30 cm (12\") record)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOffset Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 21°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArm Height Adjustment Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 0 -

Built around a newly developed coreless twin-rotor direct drive motor, a three-layer heavyweight platter individually balanced at the factory, a high-sensitivity cold-drawn magnesium gimbal tonearm, and a four-layer cabinet, the SL-1200G delivers the engineering precision and rotational stability of the professional SP-10 lineage in a complete, fully integrated turntable system. For vinyl listeners who want Grand Class performance in the classic silver SL-1200 aesthetic, the SL-1200G is the definitive choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoreless Direct Drive Motor with Twin-Rotor Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional direct drive turntables are subject to two fundamental problems: cogging, the magnetic reluctance effect caused by an iron core in the motor rotor, and minute rotational vibrations that subtly degrade the signal the stylus retrieves from the groove. The SL-1200G eliminates both. Its newly developed coreless direct drive motor removes the iron core entirely, eliminating cogging and producing inherently smoother, more uniform rotation. The twin-rotor construction maintains high starting torque while simultaneously reducing bearing load and suppressing the fine vibrations that iron-core motors generate. Blu-ray-derived motor control technology further refines performance by switching drive mode according to the operational status of the motor, achieving both a starting torque of 3.3 kg·cm and sustained wow and flutter of 0.025% W.R.M.S. The result is the warm, exquisitely detailed sound embedded in analogue records, retrieved with a precision that conventional direct drive designs cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree-Layer Platter with Factory Balance Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1200G's platter rigidly bonds a brass weight to an aluminium die-cast body and covers the entire rear surface with deadening rubber, forming a three-layer assembly whose rotational inertial mass exceeds the SP-10MK2 — the direct drive reference of professional broadcast stations worldwide — and more than doubles the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5. Every platter is individually balanced after assembly on Technics' specialised high-precision factory balance adjustment equipment. Any weight distribution irregularity in a rotating platter generates vibration and noise that degrade playback quality; the factory balancing process eliminates this variable entirely.

The SL-1200GR2 is the more accessible Grand Class model with refined but less elaborate construction. The SL-1200G represents the higher level of engineering and materials within the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does eliminating cogging actually mean for vinyl playback?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCogging is the subtle speed irregularity caused by the magnetic attraction between the rotor poles and the iron core in a conventional direct drive motor. It creates periodic micro-variations in rotational speed that smear fine musical detail and affect the timing accuracy of bass lines, percussion, and pitch-sensitive instruments like piano. The SL-1200G's coreless motor eliminates the iron core entirely, removing cogging as a source of error and allowing the stylus to retrieve the full detail and timing accuracy embedded in the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Technics SL-1200G include a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SL-1200G includes a headshell, balance weights, overhang gauge, PHONO cable, earth lead, and dust cover, but no cartridge.

Born of the pursuit of audio excellence that has driven A-T for more than 50 years, the AT-ART1000 introduces an innovative, audiophile design heretofore unseen in mass-produced cartridges. The cartridge’s direct power system places the dual moving coil directly on top of the stylus tip, ensuring that the audio quality does not suffer the negative effects normally introduced by the cantilever's length and material type. Having the coils move in such close proximity to the stylus tip allows the cartridge to vividly render even the most subtle sonic details and provide unsurpassed transient response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach of the cartridge’s two coils is constructed of 20 ìm diameter PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) wire, wound eight turns to a diameter of 0.9 mm to create a non-magnetic core coil. The 3-ohm coils are placed in the tiny 0.6 mm gap of a powerful magnetic circuit, enabling each coil to generate an output voltage of 0.2 mV.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe AT-ART1000 features the same high-performance line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever found in the AT-OC9\/III, enabling the cartridge to faithfully trace the record groove and reliably transfer the signal to the coils.

A mono switch, to some extent, can improve this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaying MONO record with a TRUE MONO cartridge will have none of the aforementioned problems, as this cartridge only produces one signal, which afterwards is directed to both channels in the system.

This means that a TRUE MONO cartridge is essentially impervious to the pinching effect which comes into action when the stylus is pushed vertically upward in very narrow grooves. In addition, the response to dust, dirt and wear will be reduced substantially as the vertical component will not be heard.

Its denseness and grain is a primary reason why it produces such a unique sound.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-col-md-6 sppb-col-sm-6 sppb-col-xs-12\" id=\"column-wrap-id-1571975300431\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"column-id-1571975300431\" class=\"sppb-column no-mobile-side-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-column-addons\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"sppb-addon-1572640802133\" class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-addon sppb-addon-header new-white-style-1-quote-header label sppb-text-left\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sppb-addon-title\"\u003eWith Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"sppb-addon-1571975300433\" class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-addon sppb-addon-header new-white-style-1-quote-sub-header sppb-text-left\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sppb-addon-title\"\u003eHand-Built in Brooklyn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"sppb-addon-1571975300434\" class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-addon sppb-addon-text-block 0  new-white-style-1-quote\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sppb-addon-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-annotation-rectangle-creation-layer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-annotation-instructional-tooltip-pane\"\u003eEach Aeon3 built sees final assembly by John Grado himself on his workbench.

All tendencies of gyration are effectively eliminated.

Resolution MC use\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe whestTHREE Signature has been designed for ultra low noise at small signal levels from 7mV down to 0.1mV.  This means that to obtain the lowest possible noise levels and highest resolution, we recommend the use of low to medium output MC cartridges or MM\/MI cartridges from 7mV down to high output MC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the development of the whestTHREE Signature we used these MCs:\u003cbr\u003eOrtofon MC ANNA (0.20mV), Denon DL 304 (0.18mv), EMT JSD6 (0.18mv), Lyra Delos (0.6mV) and the Dynavector XV1-T (0.35mV) for much of the listening tests and noise measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh performance MM use\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBecause of the ‘impressive’ neutrality of the whestTHREE Signature in MC mode, we know that absolutely ANY high-end high performance MC cartridge can be used. For MM (moving magnet) use, the input capacitance has been trimmed to give the flatest response curve for many of the new breed of high-performance moving magnets and moving irons on the market today.  In MM mode the whestTHREE signature will easily ‘see off’ the competition even if the competition is running a 1500 EUR MC cartridge.  This is because apart from the trimmed input stage, the whestTHREE Signature also employs an ‘elevated power rail’ section unseen in a phono stage in this price range.  This gives a greater dynamic performance as well as lower noise specs for ‘earth shattering’ micro detail resolving power. Given a great MM cartridge, in MM mode the whestTHREE is spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor listening in MM mode we used the Ortofon 2M Black, Goldring 2500, Grado Reference 1 Phono and Audio Technica VM760SLC  AT440 MLA, Rega Exact and the 2014 Roksan Corus Silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass-A output stage\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLike all Whest Audio phono stages, the whestTHREE also employs a fully discrete Class-A high output current output stage. This coupled with the omission of an output capacitor means that the output from the unit is directly coupled to the following preamplifier. Even the very best ‘audiophile grade’ output capacitor would degrade the performance of whestTHREE output quality which is why the design ensures a far higher level of performance than what is normally expected at this price level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced outputs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe whestTHREE Signature comes as standard fitted with true balanced outputs which are fed from the output of the Class-A stage. While most manufacturers are content with using a 2.00 EUR\/ $2.00 IC chip to perform the balancing process and degrading the signal further, the whestTHREE Signature processes the signal exactly like many high-end microphones and mixing desks…..this means a perfect balanced feed if you are using long signal lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoading options\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe whestTHREE Signature is equipped with 8 resistive load and 8 gain options for maximum flexibility with the wide range of cartridges available today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resistive load options are 100, 220, 330, 470, 1k6, 15k and 47k ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMM gain is covered by 42dB and 46dB. High output MC is covered by 50dB, 53dB and 56dB while the low output MC sets are 60dB, 65dB and 72dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard ‘shipped’ setup is 65dB\/100ohms which will suite 95% of MC cartridges today. For the other 5% it is just a matter of removing 2 small M3 screws under the head unit which will give you full access to both channels load and gain switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHVDM power supply\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA new bespoke external power unit has be designed specifically for the whestTHREE signature. The HVDM (high voltage dual-mono) power supply utilises a ‘whest designed’ extremely low mechanical noise high current toroid transformer.  Unlike most other manufacturers today who use ‘off-the-shelf’ transformers to save on cost which also has a negative impact on audio quality, the HVDMs transformer has been designed in-house by whest audio for ultra low noise and low signal level use.  Low mechanical noise means less noise on the power rails and with ‘specific secondary outputs’ means the all important audio circuits in the whestTHREE Signature sees only what it ‘needs’ to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabling\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTo connect the whestTHREE Signature to the HVDM power supply, Whest Audio had designed 2 special XLR cables capable of handling currents far higher that what is required for the whestTHREE Signature head unit. The whestTHREE Signature comes with its own RCA-RCA 1.2m OFC Audiophile interconnect and 3.5mm Jack to RCA interconnects for connecting to your audio system and connecting to your computer system for high resolution transfers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to know more about the whestTHREE Signature and how it will perform with your current turntable setup then just drop us an

Series – the 40RDT and 40RDT Special Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGetting more resolution from vinyl isn’t easy and it certainly isn’t about the ‘KISS’ (keep it simple, stupid) principle.  Getting higher resolution from a phono stage and vinyl is much like getting higher resolution from an MRI scanner used in the medical field.  The reason why today’s MRI scanners are so much better than their early cousins is because of more processing power\/ more electronics.  A modern MRI machine has hundreds of times the processing power of its distant cousin.  The same goes for our phono stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outgoing and multi-award winning 30 Series was a class leader in its price range for the whole time it was in production and still outperforms the latest products the competition have to offer!  It had amazing noise figures, class leading soundstage and musicality and it did this all in one neat package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40 Series adds several layers of extra dimensional ‘space’ with greater instrument-harmonic resolution, ‘life like’ musicality and a ‘microscopic type’ of focus that the 30 Series electronics was incapable of.   The only way we found we could achieve this was to borrow much of the technology and ideas from the TITAN Pro which was designed to be the very best single box phono stage in the world, which it has accomplished, so we felt ‘why not just scale it down’ and use the essential parts to bring the TITAN Pro’s high-resolution sound to a market place that REALLY needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 40 Series pushes the boundaries of what is capable at this price level.  No other phono stage in the world at this price range has the abilities of the 40 Series thanks to its BIG brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting with the chassis w430mm x d290mm x h78mm – is manufactured using the same precision computer controlled machining technique, hand-welded and finished seams to give it high rigidity as the TITAN Pro and MC REF V MK4.  Internally the chassis incorporates the suspension system used in the MC REF V Mk4.  The combination of this suspension system and ultra strong chassis means that all unwanted vibrations from airborne or structure sources are very well damped.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltra Low noise Copper circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 40 Series circuit board uses ultra low impurity copper throughout and its copper weight is 4 times that used in nearly all audio electronics.  Small signal integrity is of the highest importance and with this in mind a new regulator system has been designed and employed for the 40RDT Special Edition.  The new discrete input stage for the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40RDT Special Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis based ENTIRELY on the MC REF V MK4 input stage but has been ‘trimmed’ for the 40RDT Special Edition.  The input stage of the 40RDT uses an ultra low noise\/ hand-matched monolithic amplifier.  Because all of the major amplifying and filter sections of the 40 Series are channel matched, they are capable of incredible realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIAA Hybrid Active Filtering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hybrid RIAA filters have been kept in the 40 Series design because not only is it used throughout the full Whest Audio range, but in the 40 Series it is now trimmed to a far tighter tolerance for both curve and channel matching.  Channel matching now is to within 0.12dB and RIAA curve accuracy to 0.15dB.  Both these figures are across a bandwidth with spans from 9Hz and 62KHz.  Any non-Whest Audio phono stage would be at least 4-6dB down at these extremes, but having experience in pro-audio, vinyl cutting and mastering means we at Whest Audio know what it takes to get the very best from playing back the vinyl format at al price levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain and load\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe selection is

resolution from an MRI scanner used in the medical field.   The reason why today’s MRI scanners are so much better than their early cousins is because of more processing power\/ more electronics.   A

Internal signal wiring is supplied by Cardas Audio, whose litz copper conductors carry the low-level cartridge output from the headshell leads through to gold-plated RCA output connectors, preserving signal purity at every point in the chain between stylus and phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFender Alder-Wood Plinth, Delrin Platter, and Inverted Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plinth of the American Vintage is crafted from hand-selected real alder wood — the same species Fender's master builders have used for Stratocaster and Telecaster bodies since the 1950s — chosen not only for its visual character but for its natural tonal resonance properties, which provide a warm, organically damped foundation for the precision bearing and tonearm above. Each plinth receives Fender's California hand-sprayed three-color sunburst finish, the same process used on Fender's American Vintage guitar series, making every unit subtly unique. The 6.8-lb Delrin platter sits on a hardened-steel inverted bearing system combining steel, bronze, and sapphire contact surfaces held to extremely low tolerances for smooth, quiet rotation and long-term stability. Delrin — an acetal resin developed by DuPont — is chosen for its highly crystalline molecular structure, which presents an acoustic impedance closely matched to vinyl, effectively dissipating groove-generated noise into the platter mass rather than allowing it to re-radiate through the stylus. An electronically regulated belt-drive motor mounted on Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet isolates the plinth and tonearm from motor-borne and floor-borne vibration, and a hinged smoked amber acrylic dust cover completes the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFender Three-Color Sunburst Alder-Wood

turntable co-created by Mobile Fidelity Electronics and Fender Musical Instruments, designed and manufactured in the USA. It features a hand-selected real alder-wood plinth with Fender's California hand-sprayed three-color sunburst finish, MoFi's 10-inch Ultra Tonearm with Cardas Audio wiring, a 6.8-lb Delrin platter on a hardened-steel inverted bearing, and Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet. It plays 33.3 and 45 RPM records via push-button electronic speed switching and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the American Vintage compare to the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO and the Audio-Technica AT-LP7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi x Fender American Vintage occupies a substantially higher technical and material tier than both competitors. Against the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO, which uses an 8.6-inch carbon-fiber tonearm, a felt-mat aluminum platter, and a basic DC motor without active speed regulation, the American Vintage counters with a longer 10-inch gimbaled Ultra Tonearm for reduced tracking error, a heavier 6.8-lb Delrin platter for greater rotational stability and lower noise floor, Cardas Audio internal wiring versus the Debut's standard copper, and HRS isolation feet in place of basic rubber feet. Against the Audio-Technica AT-LP7, a fully manual direct-drive design with a J-shaped tonearm and aluminum platter, the American Vintage differs fundamentally in drive topology, using a precision belt-drive system to isolate the motor from the bearing and tonearm, a 10-inch straight arm geometry for lower distortion at the outer and inner groove, and a collaboratively crafted alder-wood plinth that no production Audio-Technica model approaches in material quality or finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the American Vintage turntable include a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi x Fender American Vintage is sold without a cartridge pre-installed, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge matched to their phono stage and listening preferences. The 10-inch Ultra Tonearm accepts cartridges weighing between 5g and 10g, covering a wide range of moving-magnet and lighter moving-coil designs. MoFi Electronics' own cartridge lineup — including the UltraGold and UltraTracker moving-magnet models — is voiced to complement the American Vintage's tonearm and Delrin platter, and Vinyl Sound in Toronto can advise on compatible cartridge pairings for the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Delrin and why does MoFi use it for the platter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelrin is an acetal resin polymer developed by DuPont, characterized by a highly crystalline molecular structure that gives it a specific acoustic impedance closely matched to vinyl. In a turntable context, this impedance match means that groove-generated vibrations passing from the record into the platter surface are efficiently absorbed and dissipated as heat rather than reflected back through the stylus as noise. The result is a lower noise floor and blacker sonic backgrounds compared to platters made from aluminum or glass, which reflect rather than absorb acoustic energy. The 6.8-lb mass of the American Vintage's Delrin platter adds further rotational stability and resistance to speed perturbations caused by stylus drag during dynamic passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation do on the American Vintage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet beneath the American Vintage decouple the alder-wood plinth and tonearm from mechanical energy arriving through the supporting surface — including footfall, floor resonance, and acoustic feedback from loudspeakers in the listening room. Any vibration that reaches the platter or tonearm is picked up by the stylus as spurious signal, masking low-level musical detail and raising the noise floor. The HRS feet prevent this energy transfer at the point of contact between turntable and furniture, ensuring the stylus responds only to the groove modulations in the record rather than to the acoustic environment around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the MoFi x Fender American Vintage turntable in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi x Fender American Vintage turntable is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mobile Fidelity Electronics dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the American Vintage alongside the full MoFi Electronics turntable and electronics lineup, and can assist customers in the Toronto area and across Canada with cartridge matching, phono stage pairing, and system setup advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage works best with the American Vintage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Vintage's 10-inch Ultra Tonearm with Cardas Audio wiring outputs a clean, low-noise signal that rewards pairing with a quality phono stage matched to the chosen cartridge. For moving-magnet cartridges, MoFi Electronics' own MasterPhono preamplifier offers voiced compatibility with the American Vintage's signal chain and supports both MM and MC loading. Third-party options from manufacturers including Parasound, Pro-Ject, and Sutherland also pair well depending on cartridge output level and budget. Vinyl Sound in Toronto can recommend phono stage pairings tailored to the complete system being assembled around the American Vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the three-color sunburst finish on every American Vintage identical?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is by design. The three-color sunburst finish on the American Vintage is applied by hand in California using the same spraying process Fender uses on its American Vintage guitar series, meaning each plinth receives a slightly unique application of the burst gradient and interacts differently with the individual grain pattern of the hand-selected alder wood beneath. This means no two American Vintage turntables are visually identical, giving each unit a degree of individuality that mass-finished products cannot offer and reinforcing the instrument-grade craftsmanship philosophy shared by both Fender and MoFi Electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"American Vintage","offer_id":48262405325052,"sku":"MF-PDT-LE-1","price":4299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"American Vintage + M","offer_id":48262405357820,"sku":"MF-PDT-LE-2","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"American Vintage + UG","offer_id":48262405390588,"sku":"MF-PDT-LE-3","price":5795.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/MoFi_Electronics_Fender_American_Vintage_Turntable_Left.webp?v=1760727938"},{"product_id":"vpi-vanquish-turntable","title":"Vpi Vanquish Turntable","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"txtNew\" id=\"comp-jjzq6wcv\" data-vertical-text=\"false\" data-packed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVpi Vanquish Turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinished in ruby red and mounted on a dedicated, heavyweight stand, the Vanquish is a truly eye-catching sight, but the design is about more than attracting attention and is based on an earlier bespoke model created by VPI founder Harry Weisfeld.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe table is available on it's own, as well as with the Vanquish Stand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txtNew\" id=\"comp-jk02cdmn\" data-vertical-text=\"false\" data-packed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txtNew\" id=\"comp-jjzq93p1\" data-vertical-text=\"false\" data-packed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-jjzq93fhinlineContent-gridWrapper\" data-mesh-internal=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-jjzq93fhinlineContent-gridContainer\" data-mesh-internal=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txtNew\" id=\"comp-jjzq93h7\" data-vertical-text=\"false\" data-packed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 12” Aluminum Platter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e• Direct Drive System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e• 12” or 14” Gimbal Fatboy Arm Reference Wire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e• VTA Base On The Fly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e• Periphery Ring Included \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact Vinyl Sound for pricing if you would like to add any VPI upgrades or customize your VPI Turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"VPI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42607800582396,"sku":"VQ","price":121193.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/VPIVANQUISHTURNTABLE.jpg?v=1645515551"},{"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.

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!

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. 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 311 Metal in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer.

The flagship of the Acoustic Solid lineup, the Machine is built around a \u003cstrong\u003e12.5 kg, 60 mm thick CNC-machined solid aluminum platter\u003c\/strong\u003e — double the thickness and more than double the mass of the Solid 110 Metal — mounted on a \u003cstrong\u003e35 mm thick aluminum plinth\u003c\/strong\u003e weighing \u003cstrong\u003e35 kg without tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e.

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. The stainless steel bearing axle sits in a cast liner and cast bearing bottom, itself Teflon-decoupled, with a polished ceramic ball at the contact point. The 12.5 kg platter is dressed with a genuine leather mat and a 5 mm Plexiglas pad — thicker than the 3 mm pad used on the rest of the Metal series — for optimal record contact and additional mass at

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.

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. 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 Small R in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer.

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.

Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Edition is a dual-belt string-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a 12.5 kg, 60 mm thick CNC-machined aluminum platter, a 40 mm thick aluminum plinth with triple tonearm mounting capability, and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal speed control achieving 0.06% synchronization. It weighs 28 kg without tonearm and is available in polished or aluminum matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid Edition and the Solid Machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Edition and Solid Machine share the same 12.5 kg, 60 mm platter, 0.06% synchronization target, triple tonearm plinth layout, and separately housed motor concept. 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. The Solid Edition's 40 mm aluminum plinth includes provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard, enabling simultaneous installation of three tonearms with different cartridges. This allows instant switching between moving magnet, moving coil, and mono cartridge setups without remounting or re-cueing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid Edition 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 Edition in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Edition is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer.

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 interface optimized for the mass and inertia characteristics of the 15 kg platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 kg

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.

The 40 mm aluminum chassis body provides a rigid, low-resonance foundation, and the 440 x 440 mm footprint delivers the wide, stable base geometry of the Royal in a turntable weighing approximately 33 kg without tonearm — lighter and more practically sized than the Royal's 50 kg, while sharing its large-format plinth philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12.5 kg Single-Billet Aluminum Platter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 mm thick, machined from a single continuous aluminum billet for maximum structural integrity, eliminating joints and resonance paths in the platter assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrocontroller M4 with Crystal Oscillator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acoustic Solid's most advanced motor control system, shared with the flagship Solid Royal, governing the separately housed synchronous motor via string drive with real-time fine adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e440 x 440 mm Plinth Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large-format chassis base shared with the Solid Royal, providing exceptional stability and a wide anti-vibration foundation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40 mm Aluminum Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigid aluminum body providing a low-resonance structural foundation between the large-format footprint and the single-billet platter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString Drive with Separately Housed Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Synchronous motor physically isolated in its own enclosure, transmitting rotation via string drive for maximum isolation of motor-induced vibration from the plinth and bearing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 mm Plexiglas Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thicker than the 3 mm pad used on the smaller Metal series, adding mass and a further damping layer beneath the genuine leather mat at the record interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Individually Adjustable Feet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each independently height-adjustable and Teflon-disc decoupled for precise leveling and resonance isolation on any surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Finish Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in polished or aluminum matte finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWTB-213 Tonearm Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied with the WTB-213 tonearm — no cartridge included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eString drive, synchronous motor, separately housed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33.3 rpm, 45 rpm with fine adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrocontroller M4 with quartz crystal oscillator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5 kg, 50 mm thick, single-billet CNC-machined aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter Mat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenuine leather mat, 5 mm Plexiglas pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mm thick solid aluminum body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree individually height-adjustable, Teflon disc decoupled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 33 kg (without tonearm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440 x 250 x 440 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished or aluminum matte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTonearm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWTB-213 (no cartridge included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Acoustic Solid Solid 733?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 733 is a string-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a 12.5 kg, 50 mm thick single-billet aluminum platter, a 40 mm thick aluminum chassis on a 440 x 440 mm footprint, and the brand's most advanced Microcontroller M4 quartz crystal motor control driving a separately housed synchronous motor via string drive. 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. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for the WTB-213 tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 733 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 733 is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer.

This type of design requires a zero-tolerance engineered cartridge body which is Rega’s area of expertise and with the Aphelion 2 these bodies are machined from one piece of the highest quality aluminium. This is a difficult and expensive process requiring all of Rega’s years of experience to achieve. In particular, the “zero” tolerancing of the body is required in the alignment and dimension of the pivot pad mounting hole and the magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional MC cartridges utilize a steel suspension system (tie wire) which creates a high amplitude H.F. resonance (normally around 8-12 kHz). Such resonance is unacceptable and is usually damped by a rudimentary piece of foam rubber. However, the foam rubber deteriorates with age and cannot prevent the complete structure from vibrating and “ringing”. The specifics and adjustment of the tie wire and damping determine whether the cartridge is under damped (bright) or over damped (warm and bass heavy). A happy medium is rarely achieved. This encouraged Rega to pursue a new direction inspired by modern materials and the basic laws of magnetism. The Aphelion 2 contains neither a tie wire nor a foam damper. Moving coil aficionados will all recognise the long search for super clear, high frequency combined with firm, tight bass, characteristics all Rega moving coils exhibit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-5 uppercase\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"dl-ruled dl-ruled--specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eTracking Pressure\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.9 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eInput Load Impedance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNominal Output Voltage\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e350 μV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChannel Balance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≥ 10 μV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSeparation\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≥ -29 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMass\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dl-footnote\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOAD SETTINGS FOR ADJUSTABLE MC STAGES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"dl-ruled dl-ruled--specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eImpedance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e100 Ω\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1000 pF\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eGain Setting\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHigh ('On' position for Rega phono stages)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43045136269564,"sku":"","price":7499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/RegaAphelion2MovingCoilCartridge.png?v=1775008036"},{"product_id":"rega-aura-mc-phono-stage","title":"Rega Aura MC Phono Stage","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRega Aura MC Phono Stage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reference Aura MC stage is the culmination of decades of electronic design development.

The twin-rotor construction maintains high starting torque while simultaneously reducing the load on the bearing and suppressing the fine vibrations that iron-core motors inherently generate. Motor control technology derived from Technics' Blu-ray device engineering switches drive mode according to the operational status of the motor, achieving both high starting torque and high rotational speed stability from the same drive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree-Layer Platter with Factory Balance Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1210G's platter combines a rigidly bonded brass and aluminium die-cast construction with deadening rubber covering the entire rear surface, forming a three-layer assembly with rotational inertial mass that exceeds the SP-10MK2 — the direct drive standard of professional broadcast stations worldwide — and more than doubles the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5. Every platter is individually balanced after assembly using Technics' specialised high-precision factory balance adjustment equipment. Units that have completed this process carry a BALANCED sticker as confirmation. Uneven weight distribution in a rotating platter causes excess vibration and noise; the factory balancing process eliminates this as a variable entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoreless Direct Drive Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e No iron core means zero cogging and inherently smoother rotation than conventional direct drive designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwin-Rotor Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains high torque while reducing bearing load and suppressing minute rotational vibrations simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlu-ray-Derived Motor Control Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptive drive mode switching achieves both high starting torque and sustained rotational speed stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Layer Heavyweight Platter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass and aluminium die-cast with full-surface deadening rubber; inertial mass exceeds the SP-10MK2 and more than doubles the SL-1200MK5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual Factory Balance Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every unit balanced on precision equipment after assembly; BALANCED sticker confirms the process has been completed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Sensitivity Magnesium Gimbal Tonearm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold-drawn lightweight magnesium arm tube; gimbal suspension with horizontal and vertical rotation axes intersecting at a single central point; high-precision cut-processed bearing housing for exceptional initial motion sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Layer Cabinet Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium die-cast, BMC, heavyweight rubber, and 10 mm hairline-finished aluminium top panel; combines maximum structural rigidity with a premium surface quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold-Plated Brass-Milled Phono and Ground Terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents signal degradation at the output stage; easy cable attachment and removal; internal metal shielding reduces susceptibility to external noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic SL-1210 Black Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The traditional black aesthetic of the professional SL-1210 lineage, updated with Grand Class engineering and materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoreless brushless DC; twin-rotor construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlatter Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass and aluminium die-cast combined; full-surface deadening rubber (3-layer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTonearm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStatic balance; gimbal suspension; cold-drawn magnesium arm tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCabinet Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-layer: aluminium die-cast, BMC, heavyweight rubber, 10 mm hairline aluminium top panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePhono Terminals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated brass-milled; internal metal shielding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17-27\/32\" x 6-13\/16\" x 14-21\/32\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 39.7 lbs \/ 18.0 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Technics SL-1210G?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Technics SL-1210G is a Grand Class reference direct drive turntable featuring a coreless twin-rotor direct drive motor, a three-layer heavyweight platter with factory balance adjustment, a high-sensitivity cold-drawn magnesium gimbal tonearm, and a four-layer cabinet construction. It is the black-finish variant of the SL-1200G Grand Class platform, sharing all engineering with the SL-1200G.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Technics SL-1210G and the SL-1200G?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1210G and SL-1200G are technically identical, sharing the same coreless motor, platter, tonearm, cabinet, and power supply. The only difference is the finish: the SL-1210G is black, continuing the traditional SL-1210 colour associated with professional DJ and broadcast use, while the SL-1200G is silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Technics SL-1210G and the SL-1210GR2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1210G is the Grand Class flagship model with a coreless twin-rotor motor, three-layer platter, four-layer cabinet, individual factory balance adjustment, and cold-drawn magnesium tonearm. The SL-1210GR2 is the more accessible Grand Class model with a refined but less elaborate construction. The SL-1210G represents the higher level of engineering and materials within the Grand Class range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the coreless motor in the SL-1210G mean for sound quality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA coreless motor has no iron core in its rotor, which eliminates cogging — the magnetic reluctance effect that causes subtle speed irregularities in iron-core motors. Combined with the twin-rotor construction that reduces bearing load and suppresses minute vibrations, the coreless motor retrieves more of the fine detail and timing accuracy embedded in analogue records than a conventional direct drive motor can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the platter individually balanced at the factory?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven small weight distribution irregularities in a rotating platter generate vibrations and noise that degrade the signal read by the stylus. Technics balances every SL-1210G platter individually on precision equipment after assembly and confirms the process with a BALANCED sticker on each unit. This eliminates platter-induced vibration as a variable and ensures consistent performance from every turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Technics SL-1210G include a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SL-1210G includes a headshell but no cartridge.
