Overview & specification
Further development of the entry-level model from the AMG family as a result of meticulous detail work. Sound dynamics and spatial depth show clear improvements compared to the predecessor.
The platter has gained more mass and with its 5.6 kg, together with the newly developed platter-subplatter interface, ensures significantly improved synchronization stability and convincing auditory performance.
The adaptation of the belt transmission also contributes to this. The ultra-quiet Swiss drive motor runs in its ideal speed range, has been fitted with new damping elements and operates almost inaudibly.
In the platter bearing, the manufacturing tolerances have been optimized in the micrometer range, and makes from other manufacturers can now be easily applied to the newly added tonearm base.
In addition to the aesthetic design, the extremely convenient operation via capacitive touch keys has been retained; here, the fine adjustment of speeds 33, 33 and 45 can also be carried out completely without tools.
AMG’s typical genes, such as the decoupled spindle/bearing design in high-precision execution and the visible and tangible material and workmanship quality are a matter of course in the updated model.
The belt drive system has been optimized, contributing to these sonic improvements. The ultra-quiet Swiss drive motor now runs in a more-ideal speed range, and has been equipped with new damping elements ensuring that it operates almost silently.
In the platter bearing, manufacturing tolerances have been optimised to micrometer-range of accuracy, and the newly added tonearm base can now be fitted with a wider range of tonearms.
In addition to the aesthetic design, the extremely convenient operation via capacitive touch buttons has been retained. Fine adjustment of the speeds 33 and 45 can also be carried out completely without tools.
Standard AMG features such as the decoupled spindle/bearing construction, high-precision manufacturing, and the visible and tangible material and workmanship quality have not been forgotten in this elegant new turntable.
