The Xperience Classic sets a new standard in terms of cost versus performance. The precision balanced resonance-optimized MDF platter weighs in at a substantial 4.4 pounds and features sandwich construction using a vinyl top layer. The platter's chrome-plated stainless steel axle rests on a Teflon bearing plate in a bronze bearing housing. The MDF plinth sits upon three height adjustable Sorbothane™ damped aluminum cone shaped feet providing easy leveling. Additionally, the low-noise motor is decoupled from the plinth which further reduces unwanted vibration and resonances. A 9-inch full carbon-fiber tonearm tube with integrated headshell is pre-mounted with a Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 cartridge. The tonearm also features an inverted thrust bearing with two hardened stainless steel points resting in sapphire thrust pads to maximize the cartridges' performance. Additionally, the tonearm allows for easy adjustment of the stylus rake angle (VTA), azimuth and overhang, greatly optimizing analog playback performance Detachable RCA interconnects included. 18.1"w x 6.3"h x 14.2"d (dustcover down) x 18.1"w x 16.4"h x 18.1"h (dustcover open). 17 lbs. Gloss Piano Black Lacquer, Mahogany or Olive Veneer finish.
