Know before you buy
Yes, it arrives with the StudioTracker moving magnet cartridge pre-mounted and aligned. You will need to complete a few basic setup steps, such as balancing the tonearm and setting the tracking force, before you can start listening.
The StudioDeck uses a manual speed change system. To switch speeds, you must manually move the drive belt to the corresponding step on the motor pulley located under the platter.
The nearly 4-pound Delrin platter provides excellent mass and density, which helps maintain consistent rotational speed and reduces unwanted vibrations. Its material properties are also designed to closely match the impedance of vinyl records, helping to minimize resonance for a cleaner sound.
Yes, the 10-inch tonearm is fully adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune tracking force, anti-skate, and VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle). This makes it easy to experiment with different cartridges as your system evolves.
The inverted bearing design places the point of rotation at the top of the bearing assembly, which improves stability and lowers the center of gravity. This results in smoother, quieter platter rotation and better overall tracking performance.
