An acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Blue on the reference chassis — a lot of audiophile turntable for the money.
Checked against the manufacturer’s site: 2026-07
Who it suits
Best suited to: a first serious turntable for an existing or planned amp-and-speakers setup. Less ideal for: plugging straight into passive speakers with no amp — check the built-in phono stage row above, and note most hi-fi decks still need external amplification.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
