Know before you buy
No, the Quasar is sold as a turntable deck only. You will need to purchase and install a compatible tonearm and cartridge separately to complete your setup.
The Quasar features a versatile mounting system designed to accommodate a wide range of tonearms, including models from SME, Origin Live, and Audiomod. We recommend verifying the specific mounting dimensions of your preferred tonearm before purchase.
No, the Quasar does not include a built-in preamp. You will need to connect it to an external phono stage or an amplifier with a dedicated phono input.
The included Condor digital power source regulates the 3-phase brushless AC motor to ensure precise speed stability. This eliminates common issues like wow and flutter, resulting in more accurate pitch and improved sonic clarity.
The bearing consists of a hand-lapped steel shaft in a 360 brass cup, which is designed for high durability and low friction. Periodic lubrication as specified in the manual will ensure it continues to operate smoothly for years.
The 2-¼ inch thick walnut plinth provides significant mass and density, which helps dampen unwanted vibrations. This construction is essential for achieving accurate, tight bass extension and a stable foundation for the platter.
