Features
VTA
The full aluminum tonearm base offers true audiophile features like variable azimuth and vertical tracking angle (VTA). Tonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening & re-tightening two grub screws (pictured left), allowing for use of your preferred turntable mat and/or for any phono cartridge that strikes your fancy. Experimenting with VTA & azimuth settings is instrumental when it comes to fine-tuning cartridge positioning to optimize the sound quality you get from your turntable system.
X1 B - High-End Tonearm & Cartridge
X1 B uses a 2-layer, 8.6“ carbon/aluminum tonearm for both maximum rigidity and optimal armtube damping. The ultra-low-friction 4-pinpoint tonearm bearing guarantees precise, stable and accurate tracking. The onepiece design staves off vibration and eliminates the extra break in the signal caused by a detachable headshell. The tonearm is an excellent fit for modern high-performance cartridges like the Sumiko moving magnet and moving coil offerings. The TPE-damped counterweight reduces arm/cartridge resonance by as much as 50%, further illustrating how X1 B is designed for anyone who prioritizes the sound of their vinyl.
X1 B - Mini XLR & RCA Outputs
X1 B comes with our high-quality Connect it E RCA/ground phono cable set which is semi-balanced, low in capacitance and thoroughly shielded. In order to take full advantage of balanced signal transmission, just pair the X1 B with the appropriate cable from our new balanced phono cable lineup. We offer a wide range of cables with varying connectors for use with any balanced phono stage.
X1 B - Quiet & Stable Speed
X1 B's motor on its own is ultra-quiet, but to further enhance its performance, we've designed a suspension for additional isolation. It allows the motor to run stably and isolates it from outside influences. Vibration is damped and eliminated, thus not transferred to the chassis, platter nor cartridge. The motor chassis is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision-tuned TPE belt; this way the motor chassis itself is decoupled from the main plinth for optimal performance. It is free floating and horizontally level.
