Product Description

the 257 turntable

The 257 stands for absolute precision and sonic perfection. Ultra-sensitive speed detection and a magnetic-bearing platter reduce mechanical interference to a minimum - for music reproduction of unparalleled purity. Optionally available with an integrated phono module, the 257 Turntable can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.

indispensable design principles

  • Compact shape to fit into New Reference Line systems (and the listening space): A height-adjustable turntable coupled with the tonearm as a single unit

  • Optical Speed Control (OSC): An encoder with a pitch of 1600 uses an optical sensor to detect changes in the speed of rotation in less than a millisecond

  • Innovative Motor Suspension (IMS): The counter-rotating suspension motor using 18 O-rings compensates for speed changes, ensuring stable rotation

  • Finetuning: Base speed can be increased or decreased using two push buttons

    drive that makes a difference

  • Hybrid motor control: A high-resolution 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) generates a motor reference voltage that is fed into the purely analog motor control unit

  • Automatic compensation for friction and temperature changes in the disk bearings and belts keeps the speed in the perfect range at all times

  • Speed-controlled rotation is performed by two belt drives with two high-torque 12V DC motors moving two flywheels reducing wow and flutter to an absolute minimum

    low friction bearings

    Magnetic bearing technology at its best: Inverted, ground and polished ceramic bearing axle with a sintered bronze liner provides the smoothest operation possible.

    a platter to serve the best

    The balanced 50mm platter in sandwich construction made of technical plastic and stainless steel holds the most legendary records dearly. It provides a solid yet elegant base for all vinyls.
