This turntable named after Wagner’s opera “Die Walküre”.

 

It uses a solid plinth made of Aluminum and Baltic Birch. Bearing is suspended by air through a nano medical grade air compression system, which transfers zero vibrations to the record playing. So,  different from the previous version, this upgraded one is referred as [Die Walküre ‘In the Air’].

 

You may still order the previous version ‘without air suspension’ for a less price in the pricing option.

 

The DC motor is fixed hanging inside plinth, better for the structure, and the user can accurately adjust the speed of the turntable through an external speed control unit.

 

This turntable comes with two arm bases, and can also be customized for other brands of various sizes of arm base, making it very versatile for high end vinyl lovers.

 

The construction of the Die Walküre is exceptional at this price point.

 

Features:

  • 2 1/2″ solid acrylic platter
  • 3 1/2″ thickness solid ‘sandwich’ plinth made of one piece aluminium casting and wood
  • Three machined feets, each with 3 ball bearings supporting a steel plate de-coupled from the turntable with a pneumatic air dampened suspension
  • High quality high speed German motor mounted into the sub base, but de-coupled and powered by an external power supply/variable speed controller
  • This turntable can accommodate up to 3 tonearms, and arm supports are available for nearly all tonearms, including the new Consonance linear tracking air bearing LT-1/LT-1S.
