The X1B turntable is an award winning turntable with tons of precision technology for incredible vinyl playback. Using a 8.6" carbon fiber wrapped tonearm, massive 3.3lb acrylic platter, adjustable isolating feet, Sumiko Rainier cartridge, and top notch motor makes this one special. Not to mention a bunch of upgrade options for those that fall in love and want more.
Tonearm
The X1B uses a 8.6" carbon fiber wrapped aluminum tonearm. This technology both maximies rigidity and gives optimal internal dampening to reduce any resonance. The one piece design staves off any vibrations which eliminates any break in signal. It also has a height adjustability to allow for any changes to platter mats or different cartridges to optimize playback.
Motor
We designed this motor to be ultra-quiet, but we also designed it to be further isolated from the table itself. We use rubber gaskets to ensure no vibrations reach the table or cartridge for an ultra quiet design.
Sumiko Cartridge
The X1B comes with a pre-mounted Sumiko Rainier cartridge. A wonderful sounding cartridge at the price point and allows for an incredibly easy upgrade path.
Upgradability
This table accommodates an immense amount of upgades. Let it be a higher end cartridge (MM or MC), a different platter, or even go to a fully balanced design (which optimizes signal paths to give zero distortion). This table is ideal to play your vinyl as is, or grow with it over time as your collection does!
Platter
The X1B has an impressive 3.3lb acrylic platter. This ensures smooth even playback and helps reduce any impactful vibrations from outside sources.
