It comes fitted with an SME V tonearm, a used Koetsu Red Signature cartridge and upgraded with the Gyropower QC outboard power supply. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilising a hanging pendulum-style sub-chassis with an isolated drive motor, three suspension towers hold the springs in place and provide height adjustment for the sub chassis. The weighted pendulum style sub chassis hangs on the three suspension springs, providing a rigid dense platform to mount the main bearing, platter and tonearm assembly, while also acting as a ‘resonance \/ vibration sink’ drawing away unwanted vibrations from the sensitive elements of the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main bearing has the point of rotation at the top of the assembly, not at the bottom. This orientation fully lubricates the inside of the entire bearing while the platter is turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGyroPower QC offers speed-switching between 331\/s and 45 rpm. Separate regulated power supplies and crystal oscillators for 33 and 45 ensure speed integrity and pitch stability. Filtered power to the Papst motor helps eliminate 'wind noise' from the vanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGyroDec\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (Lid Closed): 530 mm wide × 410 mm deep × 190 mm high\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (Lid Open): 530 mm wide × 490 mm deep × 550 mm high\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 14 kg\u003cbr\u003eSpeeds: Speed change (33.33 \/ 45 RPM) via GyroPower QC\u003cbr\u003eDrive System: Belt drive with an isolated, free-standing motor unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGyroPower QC\u003cbr\u003eSurface-mount technology and high-quality components\u003cbr\u003ePolypropylene capacitors in filter section\u003cbr\u003eTwo high-precision crystal oscillators dividing down to 50Hz (for 331\/s rpm) and 67.6Hz (45 rpm)\u003cbr\u003eTwo low pass 36dB\/octave filters, one at 0° and the other at 90° phase shift (phase shift kept within ±1°)\u003cbr\u003eSeparate regulators for crystal oscillators and filter sections\u003cbr\u003eLow distortion (0.04\/0.5%) amplifiers result in two pure sinewaves phase-shifted at 90° for precision\u003cbr\u003espeed control, delivering 19V RMS to the motor for minimum noise\u003cbr\u003eLarge-core 100VA toroidal transformer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSME V Tonearm\u003cbr\u003ePivoted, dynamic balance tonearm with fiber-damped, tapered, straight magnesium arm-tube with a fixed headshell, optional viscous pivot damping, spring sidethrust correction, sliding base overhang adjustment, ballrace bearings.\u003cbr\u003eEffective mass: 10–11gm.\u003cbr\u003eLength (pivot to stylus): 233.15mm.
