Micro Vibration Stabilizer System (MVSS) with silicone fluid reservoirs
Know before you buy
The MVSS uses silicone fluid reservoirs to actively dampen unwanted vibrations before they reach the stylus. This ensures the tonearm tracks the groove with extreme precision, resulting in a cleaner, more stable soundstage.
Yes, the granite base is critical for stability. Weighing over 40 pounds, it acts as a massive, inert anchor that prevents external vibrations from interfering with the delicate playback process.
The Turbo MkII power supply is designed to deliver consistent, clean power to the motor. By reducing electrical noise, it allows the turntable to maintain a more accurate rotational speed and a lower noise floor.
The Delphi MK VI is a precision instrument that requires careful calibration, particularly regarding the suspension and tonearm alignment. While it is a manual, belt-driven system, we recommend having a professional or experienced enthusiast handle the initial setup to ensure optimal performance.
It features an S-shaped tonearm designed for high rigidity and precise tracking. It is optimized for use with high-quality Moving Coil cartridges, which are well-suited to the turntable's detailed and dynamic sonic character.
The Delrin feet allow you to perfectly level the turntable on your equipment rack. Achieving a precise level is essential for the bearing system to operate smoothly and for the stylus to track evenly across the record surface.
