Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) DELUXE turntable.
It is a three point suspended design, using steel coil springs in extension (rather than
the more common compression) to isolate the dynamically centered subchassis. This
system isolates the sensitive platter, tonearm and cartridge –and the vinyl record
itself – from exterior vibrations.
The plinth is made from selected void-free Finnish birch ply, the same material we
use for all of our classic line of loudspeaker cabinets. In fact, the plinth of your Deluxe
TT has been hand made in the same Austrian factory as our loudspeakers, and by
the same skilled artisans.
The internal power supply is equipped with Audio Note (UK) custom copper foil
capacitors, the same as are used in our amplifiers and preamplifiers. These
components have a surprising and audible effect on the sound quality of the
turntable, and this is why we chose to use them for the Deluxe TT.
It is also possible to use your Deluxe TT with the ‘Deluxe PSU’, which is a dedicated
external power supply (sold separately) designed specifically for our TT-One and TT-
Two Deluxe turntables. Please consult your authorized Audio Note (UK) dealer for
further information.
Your Deluxe TT is intended primarily to be used with one of our own 9” tonearms
(ARM-One/II, ARM-Two/II, ARM-Three/II). These are medium mass designs, and the
suspension system is designed to partner with them perfectly. While it is possible to
purchase armboards for other manufacturers’ tonearms (your authorised Audio Note
(UK) dealer or distributor will be able to provide you with further information) the
turntable’s suspension system will not perform optimally with higher mass tonearms.
