Die-cast aluminum platter

We removed the ABS polymer main platter of the E1 and updated it with a newly designed aluminium one. The new 730g die-cast aluminium main platter creates an ideal, anti-resonant platform for your vinyl. To guarantee perfect playback, the platter is reworked and precision-balanced in an extra step to obtain an evenly spinning platter. This significant upgrade not only improves rotational stability but also enhances the overall acoustic performance by minimizing unwanted vibrations and resonance. The additional mass of the aluminium helps maintain consistent speed and provides a more solid foundation for the vinyl, allowing the stylus to track with greater accuracy.

Premium Pick it MM E Cartridge

The phono cartridge is one of the most sound-forming and sonically critical part of a turntable. It transforms the physical grooves of a record into an electrical signal. This signal determines the base quality of the music playback. The Pick it MM E uses a low mass system which is realized with a miniature neodymium generator magnet. Due to the lower inertia the result is a clear improvement of tracking accuracy. The conical diamond tip delivers a warm and smooth high quality audio reproduction with low background noise. The highly damped ABS body effectively reduces vibration induced colorations to a vanishing level.

Precision tonearm

The tonearm of the E1.2 is crafted to deliver exceptional performance right out of the box, expertly adjusted at the factory, so you‘re ready to play right away. No tools, no guesswork - plug in and press play. At its core is a heavy mass gimbal design, offering solid tracking and great sound stability. The precision bearing system with zero play means smooth movement and clean sound. We’ve added a carbon-reinforced, super stiff headshell to reduce vibrations. The oversized diameter counterweight is placed closer to the moving parts, improving balance and tracking for better detail and bass response.

Precision craftsmanship

The plinth is the foundation of great vinyl playback—and we’ve gone the extra mile to get it right. CNC-machined from a rigid composite fiber, the chassis is carefully engineered with no hollow spaces inside. This solid, resonance-resistant construction helps eliminate unwanted vibrations, allowing your music to come through with clarity and energy. Available in high-gloss black or walnut finish, the plinth doesn’t just sound good, it also looks stunning in any setup. Its clean lines and premium surfaces reflect the quality typically found in higher-end models, making it a beautiful centrepiece for your living room.
