Special Features
- First turntable made of a material mixture of plastic, rock and fiberglass pressed under high pressure and temperature to completely eliminate resonance. According to the original instruction manual, the resonance-free frame is made of "special material, formed under high pressure. The material consists of a homogeneous combination of mineral (stone powder, glass fibres) and chemical components (calcium carbide, unsaturated polyester resins)." Which also explains the relatively high weight.
