High Mass Turntable

We developed our GML 30 and in continuation the GML 45 to create a solid and powerful base from which our pick-up-arm SI 1, combined with a good cartridge, can create a bright sound, strong and still full of feeling.

The production is mostly done in highly precise handicraft!

Two balls of aluminiumoxyd bear the 36/47 kg turntable in a fluid; between those balls made of one of the hardest substances to be found on our planet, the turntable has only one microscopic small point of contact.
The axis is precisely cut and polished to its bearing.

Due to their different composition, metals have different physical qualities that result in different acoustical qualities.
We used this knowledge to develop our GML 30 and GML 45 turntable’s optimised open-sandwich-construction with one layer made of a relatively soft aluminium-magnesium-alloy, the other of austenitic Inconel.
