If you have to save your most desirable possession from a burning building then what would it be? Don’t know about you but for a music connoisseur who owns a one of the best turntables in the market will leave everything to save that only. Though he may not own the most expensive turntables, but the Acutus Reference Turntable from Avid that sports a price tag of $24,000 also cannot be left back to get charred. Touted to be the ultimate in analog playback, this outstanding turntable features a new custom designed sturdy power supply. This drives the motor with such precision, the pace and timing of the music takes on a whole new perspective. Also the brand’s design philosophy begins with the most critical component in the signal chain, the stylus tracking the groove of the record.

Vibration caused by the stylus during playback is transmitted to the subchassis directly through the bearing and not absorbed into the platter. This is achieved using a unique matting material and clamping system. External vibrations are isolated by a unique suspension system, now conveniently adjustable from above. A purpose designed power supply coupled to a unique hand made motor, 10 times more powerful than normally used, drive a massive 10Kg platter. Recently improvements to the suspension, now allows adjustments from above, making set-up easier. The design and engineering behind this table sets new standards in music reproduction.

And it’s not a case of brains without beauty or vice versa, as such an outstanding engineering marvel with the most accurate sonic presentation can be ordered in Polished Chrome. Also the affluent music lovers can opt for a plated Gold one to add an oomph factor to this beauty. What ever the casing be, it is undeniably one of the most musical-sounding record players you can buy.
