Technical Data
- Drive: Direct (brush, slot, coreless DC servo motor)
- Speed: 33 1/3, 45 UPM
- Synchronous speed variation: 0.02% (WRMS)
- Rumble noise ratio: 78 dB
- Turntable: 310mm die-cast aluminium alloy
- Total rotating mass of the drive system (rotor with platter):
- Operating mode: fully automatic
- Pitch: no
Special features
- Continuous play circuit
- Antiskating
- Weight balanced tone arm
- Ed shutdown via photo sensor
- Two motors, one each for turntable and tonearm
- Impact sound damping by springy and vibration-resistant rubber feet
Remarks[edit]
- While in Germany large quantities of smaller Hitachi turntables were sold (mostly in the course of a "Hifi-Rack") the larger models are rarely found in this country.
- So is the HT-500 MK2,which is a good unit for softer suspended MM systems a la VMS30MK/II.
- The qualities of the drive are far beyond a current belt-driver of the 1000€ + class. And that despite a weight under 10kG.
- Other models in the same series:
- Preamplifier:
- Hitachi HCA-7500 II
- Power amplifier:
- Hitachi HMA-7500 II
- Tuner:
- Hitachi FT-5500 II
- Tape Deck:
- Hitachi D-1100 M
- Turntable:
- Hitachi HT-500 II
- Speakers:
- Hitachi HS-70 F
