Project
6 Perspex turntable deal

The transparent acrylic plinth stands on three individually height-adjustable TPE-damped aluminum cones and carries the motor and the sub-chassis. The sub-chassis, made of Corian, rests on three magnetic fields. A magnetic sub-chassis suspension system avoids parasitic noise normally caused by conventional spring mechanism. A supplied spirit level allows easy adjustment of the sub-chassis. A quiet running AC motor unit drives the platter’s outside edge via a belt. It does incorporate an advanced DC-driven motor control, that ensures perfect speed stability and electronic speed change.

The resonance optimized platter is a sandwich construction utilizing a fine-balanced medium density fiber platter and a 4 mm thick flat-ground layer of vinyl and a screw-down metal record clamp. It runs on an inverted bearing with stainless-steel axle carrying a ceramic ball/ plate bearing. The headshell and arm tube of high-end tonearm 9cc Evolution are fashioned from a single piece of carbon-fiber. A conical arm tube avoids standing wave reflections. An Inverted tonearm bearing comprises four hardened stainless tips in ABEC 7 spec ball-races.

Supplied either with or without a premium Sumiko Amethyst Moving Magnet cartridge, hand-made in Japan by the cartridge experts at Sumiko, it can be ready to play within a few minutes of unboxing. Supplied counterweights are suitable for cartridges weighing between 5-14 g. Also supplied in the box is our Connect-IT E RCA cables, a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding that’s optimized for turntable use.

• Acrylic Plinth
• Sub-chassis made from Corian with magnetic suspension
• Acoustically inert sandwich construction of platter (vinyl-coated MDF)
• Inverted main bearing with ceramic ball/plate
• Belt drive with AC motor using DC driven AC generator
• Electronic speed control with 33/45 rpm switching
• 9cc Evolution pre-mounted 9″ tonearm
• Tonearm bearings with ABEC 7 ballraces

The 300 RPM stepped-pulley AC motor provides excellent speed stability for pitch accuracy and rhythmic drive. The Delrin® pulley has two positions for 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speed selection. Motor vibrations are kept away from the platter and stylus by using advanced dampening materials that decouple the motor from the rest of the turntable. StudioDeck features CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPENING. An aluminum plate carefully bonded to an MDF body to add mass and eliminate tonal coloration, maintaining the true sound found on the record.

Herb Reichert in Stereophile said:

"The Micromega M-One has more features than any of those silver-age contraptions, but to my eye, it is the purest, most high-design-beautiful audio machine on the planet. And, of course, it's made in France."

"Inside that sleek, cut-from-a-single-block-of-aluminum Zen box you'll find a music-streaming device with a 100Wpc amplifier output and a full menu of connections including: balanced and unbalanced analog inputs; Bluetooth aptX; LAN-Network 24-bit/384kHz asynchronous; SPDIF Coax-Optical-AES 24-bit /768kHz USB asynchronous passing DXD, DSD, DOP; and DSP with automatic room correction (M.A.R.S).

Acoustic Technologies speaker deal
Save 70%

We have bought a closeout on the Acoustic Technologies Classic speaker. This $2450.00 pair of speakers was a 2-year design project. The company designer finished the speaker & the passed away suddenly. We have bought the inventory from the family.
 
The Classic speakers are optimized in both the frequency and time domains. Using a single wide band driver properly sized to allow for all sufficient musical cues, he introduced a new technology to coherently present lower frequency information produced by the driver. This new technology uses a proprietary cabinet design to acoustically amplify the lower frequencies produced by the driver much in the manner that musical instruments do. They use solid silver internal wiring with Cardas CCGGL gold plated binding posts.

These speakers are great with small power tube amps like out VT-70 as well as 300B amps and other smaller high quality tube & solid state amplifiers.

 Realistic 3D sound staging / No “sweet spot” / Small profile /Low power consumption

John Atkinson - stereophile.com (RMAF 2009 Show Report)

    "When I walked into the room of Chicago-based Acoustic Technologies LLC, I thought I was listening to speakers that only had tweeters, because the only visible drive-unity was a single 3" unit. Yet the sound, a recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Schererazade, was definitely full-range, and the soundstaging, as you might expect from such a small radiating diameter and a narrow cabinet baffle, was well-delineated. 

    The 3" unit, which has a titanium cone, was being used in the Acoustic Technologies Classic-Series loudspeaker to cover the entire audio band. Yes, the speaker was running out of headroom at climaxes with a lot of bass energy—maximum amplifier power is specified as 30Wpc—but there was a refreshing transparency to the overall presentation. System was an Ayon CD2 CD player, Pass Labs X-1 preamp, and a PS Audio power amp."

Rick Becker - enjoythemusic.com (CES & THE Show 2009 Report)
    "The room was empty except for the music.  As sometimes happens, this off-the-beaten-path adventure turned up a real gem.  The music emanated from a pair of single driver floorstanders about 6-inches wide and 43-inches tall.  The driver itself was only 3 inch in diameter, but it was obvious it was very special. [...] A special cabinet design amplifies the bass and recreates sound like a musical instrument.  The breakthrough here was the ability of these loudspeakers to create 3-dimensional sound throughout the room without having to sit in a "sweet spot." [...] This Real World loudspeaker really excites me; I get goose bumps just listening to my video notes."

Gary Lea - Constantine Soo's Dagogo - A Unique Audiophile Experience (RMAF 2009 Show Report)

    "The Acoustic Technologies room was quite entertaining. This speaker is a very narrow floor-standing with a single, 3" driver. I first heard this speaker at the AKFEST in May and was mightily impressed not only with the amount of sound and frequency range that was attainable from a single 3” driver, but the musicality and the sound staging. The Acoustic Technologies makes a pretty convincing argument for single-driver speakers. They also do a pretty interesting demonstration to show that the speaker delivers a full sound without a particular sweet spot. Attractively priced [...], this elegant looking floor standing column would fit in with any décor."

Laurence Borden - The Stereo Times - The Complete Audiophile Magazine (RMAF 2009 Show Report)

    "As at CES, In enjoyed the Acoustic Technologies speaker.  This is a small footprint single-driver floor stander.  [...] [D]riven by a Pass F3 amp, the speaker has remarkable dispersion, such that it sounds good irrespective of where one is standing or sitting in the room.  In my opinion, this speaker represents a fantastic product for those intrigued by single-driver speakers, those with a limited budget, or those interested in a "life style" speaker that offers the antithesis of the "head in a vice" sweet spot of many modern speakers."

MyGroove phono stage deal at 57% off


Very good Moving Magnet/Moving Coil phono stage
Only available in white

Quality phono pre-amp
If your existing amp doesn’t have a phono pre-amp built-in the Micromega MyGroov gives your vinyl a thorough revival. Featuring a low noise power supply and ‘clean’ signal path that’s free from electrolytic capacitors, the MyGroov gives you smooth, distortion-free sound quality.

Choose between MM (40dB) and MC (60dB)
Compatible with both MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) cartridges, the MyGroov works with just about any cartridge. Even if you don’t use a sonically superior MC cartridge at the moment, this phono pre-amp gives you the option to do so in the future – without having to upgrade the phono pre-amp, too.

Smooth design
The sleek design features quality detailing. Switching between standby/MM/MC, for example, is carried out by an anodized aluminum wheel. Delayed switching avoids any ‘thump’ coming through the speakers as you switch inputs. The case itself is very compact and easy to house.

Differential analog input structure to avoid current injection into the cartridge.
• MyGROOV adapts to all type of cartridges despite of their impedance and sensitivity.
• Four positions horizontal rotary switch with anodized aluminum wheel.
