Design
The platter has a high moment of inertia, which cuts down on uneven rotation. A large insulator keeps vibration from traveling up through the feet. The S-shaped tonearm takes replaceable cartridge and headshell combinations, and it has an internal anti-skate mechanism for stable tracking. A built-in strobe lets you calibrate the speed adjustment.

Reception
