In the X1 B, the motor drives a purpose-made, heavy, non-resonant Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system and a premium grade main bearing, for liquid smooth rotation. This is the perfect platform on which to place your precious vinyl records, guaranteeing absolute reliability in its performance and sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOTOR AND SPEEDS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStructurally the X1 B is framed by its over-sized, heavyweight MDF structure. Inside the plinth, it houses a sophisticated DC\/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board (for automatic switching between 33 and 45 RPM as well as additional 78 RPM support), delivers clean and stable power to the electronically regulated precision drive quiet-running motor. For even further improved performance, the motor is decoupled from the main plinth using a new motor suspension system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPROVED ISOLATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turntable is then positioned on three height-adjustable, decoupling Alu\/TPE sandwich feet for improved isolation from the structure it’s placed upon.

This new 8.6” tonearm design is incredibly light and stiff, with improved resistance to external interference. Finished as a one-piece, with no resonance-inducing headshell, the X1 tonearm can also be adjusted for accurate azimuth and VTA settings, allowing advanced analogue audiophiles to fine-tune more than ever before. The tonearm is then supplied with a TPE-damped counterweight, further reducing cartridge\/tonearm resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACCESSORIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in the box are a pair of Connect-IT E RCA cables; a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding that’s optimised for turntable use.
