Its zinc die-cast top sits on an 8mm resin base reinforced with 9mm vibration-damping material, while the tone arm features rubber insulation to further reduce howling. Gold-plated RCA outputs provide a clean signal path, free from interference or degradation, ensuring uncompromising audio quality. This meticulous construction keeps your sound clear and undistorted, even in high-volume environments.
