Suburb or Town: TORQUAY State: Victoria Payment Method: Paypal (Friends + Family) or +3%, Cash, EFT + P&H Reason for selling: Upgrade Further information: Well regarded Turn Table from European Audio Team, EAT C-SHARP (Current RRP $5899 without cartridge) Separate Power supply and speed controller, does not come 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 . For sure you have also 33 /45 electronic switching.

Eagleeyes Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I bet the Eat forte in the classifieds or the Gyrodec works listed last week, I love the look and elegance of this deck. It certainly has been on many a page on here. Glwts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janjuggler Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi @wheelsofsteel Had thought about the EAT Forte, but I would have to purchase another rack to put the 65kg beast onto JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
