Further information:

 

 

Relisted, due to sale not proceeding for covid related hassles.

 

This was owned by a mate who purchased it new from Peter Q. at Audio Note in the UK in 1995.

Purchase price back then was   GB5000 pounds.

 

Manufactured in the UK, this is one of the very last VOYD turntables made.

The VOYD utilizes a 3 motor drive system to overcome any dynamic instability in playback.

The three motors provide fantastic torque and full speed is maintained in like a nano second from turn on.

 

This unit features the REFERENCE bearing and the REFERENCE polycarbonate platter.

It also has the original external power supply which is very substantial and not an after thought at over 3kgs.

All three drive motors are the original Papst units.  None of these motors have ever had any issues whatsoever.

 

This deck was serviced by Duc at Golden Age Audio around 6 years ago.  At the time Duc recommended a new top plate be CNC m/c from 316 stainless steel to the exact original specs, to replace the magnetic steel original.  This new plate was powder coated to a gloss piano black timber finish to match the base, and proved to be a great sonic improvement.

 

The base, electrical controls and mechanicals are all in EXCELLENT condition.  The polycarbonate lid is the original and I rate that as very good except for a slightly relaxed spot about 40mm wide.  The lid does have minor imperfections here and there, but it still presents very nicely. With a polish it would come up awesome.  I have not touched it – that is for the new owner.  There is also a very small blemish in the paint on the RH side that almost cannot be seen, but I mention it for full disclosure.

 

As per the pics, an SME armboard is fitted, but no arm is supplied.

 

 

EXTRAS- lots of them!  Spare suspension springs, spare bearings for the motor spindle suspension, spare brass feet, spare spindle oil in a syringe.

 

Original setup instructions are included and I am happy to assist here.

 

This is a very well regarded turntable and they rarely come up for sale.  They have a very respected following in the UK.

 

I have the original box, but the foam inserts are way past their best.  I expect new inserts can be made if shipping is required.

Obviously a local sale is preferred, but I am willing to ship this unit, but only at the buyer’s risk.

 

The buyer is to pay for shipping (and insurance if req'd) at cost.

My packing is pretty good though and I had a Garrard 401 travel to Sydney with not a blemish three weeks ago, so have confidence here.

Any inspection is welcome.
