{"title":"Turntables $30,000 and Above","description":"\u003cp\u003eTurntables above $30,000 represent the absolute summit of analog engineering, where statement-grade machined chassis, magnetic direct-drive systems, pneumatic air-suspension isolation, regenerated AC motor power, and bespoke tonearm geometries push the boundaries of what is technically achievable in vinyl playback. Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada carries a curated selection of statement and bespoke reference turntables in this category from Acoustic Solid (Überlingen, Germany), VPI Industries (Cliffwood, USA), and Thorens (Lahr, Germany). The Acoustic Solid 733 is the flagship of the Acoustic Solid Aluminum Line, a hand-built German belt-drive turntable with a 50mm aluminium platter machined from a single billet, a string-driven separately housed motor, Microcontroller M4 quartz crystal oscillator speed control, a 40mm aluminium chassis, and an approximate weight of 33kg, representing the closest approach to live concert sound quality that Acoustic Solid's engineering team considers currently achievable. VPI reference models include the Avenger Reference with JMW 12-inch 3D-printed tonearm, the Titan with its acrylic\/aluminium\/acrylic sandwich chassis on pneumatic air-suspension isolation footers and analog-based oscillators generating regenerated AC sine waves for ultra-low motor noise, and the Vanquish, a Magnetic Direct Drive turntable with 14-inch Fatboy Gimbal tonearm finished in ruby red on a dedicated heavyweight stand. The Thorens TD 124 DD Exclusive upper configuration and the Thorens New Reference represent modern interpretations of Thorens heritage engineering at the reference level. Vinyl Sound is an authorised dealer for Acoustic Solid, VPI Industries, and Thorens in Toronto, Canada, with bespoke system consultation, reference listening sessions, and white-glove setup available at our Richmond Hill, Ontario showroom by appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vpi-avenger-reference-turntable-uni-pivot-or-gimbal","title":"Vpi Avenger Reference Turntable","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"txtNew\" id=\"comp-jjzq6wcv\" data-vertical-text=\"false\" data-packed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVpi Avenger Reference Turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Avenger tables were originally a project started by Harry over 12 years ago.

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.

These vibrations are converted into the sound.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn exactly the same way, all other mechanical vibrations of the turntable are processed and lead to distortion and other unwanted effects. The sources of these vibrations are for example building vibrations, people walking around, the sound waves of the music and self-generated vibrations from the turntable itself. Since it is not possible to distinguish between the actual music vibrations and parasitic disturbances, these must be avoided as much as possible.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Thorens design team around Helmut Thiele, who is responsible for the construction and design of the new Reference, have taken on this challenge.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith the Thorens New References, for the first time ever a turntable is designed and optimized from scratch together with a fully active vibration isolation system. Thorens teamed up with the German company Seismion, which is internationally renowned for its class-leading active vibration isolators, to create a turntable, that is designed around the vibration isolation system as an integral part of the system. Seismion fully exploited its expertise in active isolation systems used for semiconductor industry, nanotechnology and scientific laboratories, to create a vibration isolation never seen and experienced in turntables before.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe active vibration isolation is based on piezoelectric acceleration sensors with an extremely high sensitivity, and an all-linear electronic control circuit to generate unrivalled low noise- and distortion-free control forces. This sophisticated mechatronic system is based on so called Sky-Hook-Damping and isolates disturbances already below 1 Hz and reduces them to less than 1% (-40 dB) at frequencies of 10 Hz and above. Such a performance is far superior to any other isolation (figure 1). This figure shows the comparison of the active isolation system - Sky-Hook-Damper - and a high-performance Air Spring. Especially at the critical frequencies around the resonance, the active isolation has a performance which is up to 100 times better. At 10 Hz it is still about 17 times stronger isolated than with an Air Spring. Other dampers like rubber mounts are on a much lower performance level and not shown in this comparison.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe overall system is designed in a way that the centre of gravity - COG - is close to the plane of isolation. In this way, the coupling of horizontal vibrations and tilting motions are greatly reduced (figure 2). Furthermore, the chassis itself is made non-resonant by its layered structure of highly damped materials.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe result of the vibration isolation is simply pure music like one has hardly experienced. The effect goes far beyond the simple elimination of foot-fall vibrations. In fact, even tiny vibrations in the range of nano meter down to pico meter are still efficiently isolated, due to the contact-less actuators. The system also follows music with high dynamics between quiet and loud sequences extremely quickly, since the active control forces stabilize the system and lead to an instantaneous settling time of the isolation system. An adaptive levelling system, which keeps the turntable precisely levelled within 20 micro meter completes the active isolation system.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrive unit with innovative platter absolute-velocity-damping by Seismion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe other fundamental part of every turntable is the drive unit. The ultimate goal is to realize the perfect and constant rotation speed of the platter. This concerns both the absolute speed and modulations of the speed around the mean value also called wow and flutter.The Thorens New Reference features a high-quality German-made 3-phase synchronous motor, which is driven by three all linear power amplifiers with 120° shifted sine signals. The motor torque is transmitted to the platter by a belt (figure 3). The hydrodynamic bearing is optimized by use of lubrication theory equations. In this context the Sommerfeld-number is used, which describes the thickness of lubrication film and the diameter of the bearing. This number is named after german physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, who conducted several fundamental research in the field of hydrodynamics. A small Sommerfeld-number means the bearing is centered already at very low rotation speeds, which minimizes the wear and ensures minimum out of center errors like eccentricity and whirl. The hydrodynamic bearing is made and hand-finished in Germany.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eTogether with the innovative active damping technique, the belt-driven approach has several significant advantages:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eUnlike Direct Drive systems, the turntable platter is isolated from the drive motor because of the elastic belt. The high inertia of the platter is therefore efficiently utilized and helps to passively remain a constant velocity of the platter. Moreover, any fluctuations from the motor are strongly supressed by the platter\/belt second order low-pass characteristics. A common disadvantage of belt-driven systems is the potential resonance of the platter, which is observed as wow and flutter. The rotational inertia of the platter forms together with the elasticity of the belt an oscillatory system. The resonance frequency is typically about 4 Hz, but depends on the actual parameter values of the system. The orange graph in figure 4 shows a peak around 4 Hz, where all disturbances are strongly amplified. This means that the rotation speed of the platter is no longer constant, but modulated with 4 Hz around the mean velocity. This effect is known as wow, and highly undesired, especially since the human ear is most sensitive to this frequency range. Figure 5 displays the weighting curve as described in DIN 45507 or IEC 386. The maximum of this weighing unfavorably coincides with the typical resonance of the platter \/ bearing system. Vibrations of the platter are excited mainly by the friction in the platter bearing, by a not perfectly circular platter, by irregularities of the belt and by slip between the belt and platter, which is necessary to transmit the torque from the motor. The orange graph sharply drops of for higher frequencies. This is the desired effect of the platter inertia.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Thorens New Reference features an innovative and highly effective active damping system by Seismion. The deep knowledge and experience with sky-hook-damping systems featured in the active vibration isolator “Reactio” are used for the all new active damping approach of the platter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe rotation speed calculation of the platter is based on two ultra-high-precision quartz-oscillators with a long-term stability of max. 3 ppm over 20 years, allowing for a safety cross check and reliable speed control over the life time of the New Reference. In fact, it means that the absolute speed remains within a range of 33.3332 to 33.3334 rotations per minute over 20 years.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe signal of the high-precision rotation encoder, which is mounted on the platter-shaft, is fed into the control electronics, which realize an absolute-velocity-damping of the platter. The effect might be compared to a highly viscous platter bearings, that are commonly used in belt-driven turntables. However, the active damping system designed for the Thorens New Reference has several advantages compared to passive damping techniques realized by viscous platter bearings:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- The active damping reduces the resonance amplification at 4 Hz, and keeps the sharp drop at higher frequencies, while a highly viscous platter bearing has a negative effect on higher frequencies, since the graph does not drop as sharply, and the inertia effect of the platter is not utilized in the best way\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- The active damping effect can even be increased much further (lower blue line in figure 4) than by passive means, maximum passive viscous damping is shown as dashed orange line in figure 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- The platter bearing can be designed to be as friction-free as possible, since the damping is generated actively. As a result this bearing only generates minimal constant braking moment, in contrast to a viscous damped bearing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDue to the low braking moment the stresses on the motor and belt are significantly lower. Therefore all disturbances are minimized and also lifetime is enhanced. The active damping does not create any constant braking torque, but only dynamic moments to eliminate the modulation frequencies.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAs a result, the absolute-velocity-damping system in the Thorens New Reference efficiently absorbs any frequency modulations at the highest level possible.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLastly, also the active isolation system which is explained in the previous section also contributes to a better Wow and Flutter performance, since it stabilizes the whole sub-chassis on which the platter is placed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Thorens New Reference can be equipped with up to 3 tonearm bases and can accommodate tonearms of 9\", 10\", and 12\" inches.

By employing a high-precision platter encoder referenced to quartz timing, rotational speed remains strictly locked and unflustered without the need for friction-heavy \"band-aids\" that compromise bearing performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/reference.thorens.com\/de\/assets\/media\/Images\/01-transparent.png\" alt=\"isolations performance von sky-hook-dämpfer\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #f4f4f4;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #f4f4f4;\"\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003ePrecision belt drive with active damping and a hand-finished hydrodynamic bearing.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eGerman-made 3-phase synchronous motor (driven by three all-linear amplifiers with 120° phase-shifted sine signals).\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsolation Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eFully integrated Seismion active vibration isolation with piezoelectric acceleration sensors and an all-linear control circuit.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eCounters disturbances \u0026lt; 1 Hz; reduces vibration to \u0026lt; 1% (–40 dB) from 10 Hz upward (up to 100× stronger than air suspension).\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamping Principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSky-hook damping with an optimized center of gravity to prevent horizontal rocking motion.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eHigh-precision platter encoder referenced to quartz timing, actively addressing ~4 Hz belt-drive resonance.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonearm Support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eAccommodates up to 3 tonearm bases (supports 9\", 10\", and 12\" tonearms).\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Stability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eDouble oscillator quartz-controlled speed.
