Like the more expensive
Audio Note turntables, the AN-TT1 utilises a three point fully floating
suspended sub-chassis which isolates the arm and platter not only
from the box and motor but also from whatever surface the turntable
sits on. 
The suspension has a very low resonance frequency (about 3-5 Hz)
to keep it well below the arm resonance (9-12 Hz) and well above
the fundamental floor resonance (1-2 Hz) in most rooms with wooden
floors, but outside even the lowest notes recorded on any LP (14-16
Hz).
The platter is machined from a solid block of acrylic (usually found
on far more expensive machines) and drive to the platter is provided
by an 'o' section rubber belt.
Careful attention has been paid to the "mechanical loop"
of stylus, tone-arm and platter. The AN-TT1 will provide an exceptionally
stable platform from which to repay the finest of any vinyl collection.
Audio Note is confident that the AN-TT1 will be the "reference"
record player at it's price point.
