Further information: Well regarded Turn Table from European Audio Team, EAT C-SHARP (Currently selling for $6499) Separate Power supply and speed controller, comes with cartridge. With Carbon Fibre and Termoplastic Elastomer, Eat was designing a new superflat table. The low profile base chassis is made out of highest density MDF. Because of its flatness this base sits perfectly stable on any surface! On this base the ultra low noise motor is mounted as well as 10 damping feets out of energy absorbing TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers = Hightech high energy absorbing damping material). The cone shape TPE columns carry a SANDWICH sub-chassis out of Carbon Fibre and MDF composite with ultimate rigidity. The stiffness is important to be a super rigid base for the tonearm/cartridge and bearing/platter as there must be 100 % no moving tolerance between the distance of the groove and the tracking cartridge. All the rumble of the platter / bearing is directed in the TPE columns. On opposite the TPE avoid that any unwanted energy of motor and surface or surrounding vibration leads to the sub-chassis or even to the tonearm cartridge. The bearing is an oversized inverted with a inert, resonance free ceramic ball on top Around the bearing we set a super heavy 700g mass point which sucks up all energy around.The stiff carbon sub-chassis helps to transport all vibration in this mass point. So vibrations are transferred in heat The platter itself is from a special alloy of very inert aluminium and is also damped by TPE inserts-It from 2 parts a sub-platter and a main platter to keep it flat although having very high mass and kinetic energy. The belt is made from special anti-static rubber. It's glued and then polished. The tonearm itself is a completely new design which combines all advantages of a unipivot arm with a Cardan design. The uni-pivot in the middle only helps bearing to be less loaded. The traditional Cardan bearing insures high stability and easiness of use with very low friction. Also inside the tonearm is a special silicon-based grease to damp the tonearm / cartridge resonances by more then 50% The tube is again out of carbon , super stiff and rigid. The headshell we made out of special light and rigid aluminium to get a perfect combination of the advantages of carbon with the better inner damping of the aluminium as well as the possibility of more tighter mounting of Highend MC cartridges. An external DC power supply unit with an AC Generator creates new total clean power for the motors . You have also 33 /45 electronic switching.

Item: Denon DP60L Direct Drive Vintage Turntable Location: Canberra ACT Price: $1100 + Packing/Shipping Item Condition: Excellent cosmetic condition with only a couple of blemishes both of which I’ve tried to highlight in the pictures. One is a graze on the left side of the plinth (minor colour repairs have hidden it well), the other is a small blemish in the plinth veneer between the tonearm and drive body towards the rear of the turntable (about 1cm long and hard to clearly photograph). Original mat is in great condition and the dustcover is very clean. Operationally all functions are working perfectly – both speeds lock immediately, the arm descends slowly and auto lifts gently at the end of the LP and the platter stops spinning quickly when ‘stop’ is pressed. I purchased this from a former member who directly imported it from his Japanese contact - it was serviced electronically, lubricated and tested before leaving Japan. Reason for selling: Desire to upgrade / Try something new Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This would be a brilliant way for someone who wants to try a foray into vinyl without spending mega bucks. This table bettered my enhanced Rega RP6 in pretty much every department (except the Gloss Black Modern Looks one) This example includes everything you need to have a high-end experience: 'S' Arm + Heavy Counter weight Straight Arm + Light Counter Weight Tortech Voltage Transformer (Bought new with turntable) Vintage Denon Headshell (~6g) Original rubber mat I have not included a cartridge though I can provide some insights into how Dynavector, Benz and Supex carts have worked. I can look to package the unit for shipping (or take to Pack and Send) but would require any purchaser to take shipping risk as there are no original (or professional packing materials). My preference is for local collection (and demonstration). Denon Description The DP-60L has a head shell integrated into the arm tube, with its connector portion located at the base of the tube. The tube is a replaceable S-shaped arm tube with standard 4P connector. By replacing the low mass arm tube with the S-shaped tube, virtually all head shells or integrated cartridges can be utilised. By having the ability to use the widest selection of cartridges, your audio enjoyment will be significantly broadened.
