Elegant and Resonance-Free Construction
The T1 EVO Phono features a precisely CNC-machined plinth, available in High Gloss Black, Satin White, or Walnut finishes. This design eliminates plastic components and hollow spaces, effectively reducing unwanted vibrations within the chassis. Complementing the plinth is a heavy, zero-resonance glass platter, which outperforms plastic or lightweight steel alternatives by minimizing resonance. Specially selected turntable feet further isolate the T1 EVO Phono from ambient vibrations, ensuring a pure listening experience.
Precision Engineering for Superior Sound
At the heart of the T1 EVO Phono is a belt-driven motor connected to a newly designed, larger sub-platter. This assembly is mounted into an ultra-precise main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing, achieving an impressive accuracy of 0.001mm. This meticulous engineering provides a smooth, resonance-free rotational platform for the tonearm and cartridge, resulting in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
High-Quality Tonearm and Cartridge
The turntable is equipped with a straight, 8.6-inch one-piece aluminum tonearm featuring low-friction bearings for precise tracking. The integrated headshell design minimizes additional vibrations, enhancing performance over detachable alternatives. Pre-installed is the Ortofon OM 10 Moving Magnet cartridge, renowned for its elliptical diamond stylus tip that ensures detailed and accurate playback, making it a true hi-fi system without compromises.
