  Bellavista Signature
  Bluenote > Turntable

The Bellavista Signature is a 20mm thick double board rigid belt driven turntable with a Very open sound, Detailed and with a full body. It's sound qualities out performed the regular version of Bellavista due to the very fine decoupling system stops and dissipates external and motor vibrations even helped for its corner curved shape boards.

Its 20mm thick platter is made of black polyvinyl and 9 gold plated weights to increase the peripheral weight (and so rotational stability). They also serve to dissipate vibrations. All the parts are made actually of machine worked aluminum, brass, bronze, stainless steel, all to improve sonic performances.

The pulley, with one of the best available rotational stability, is fixed without screws (for better wow & flutter).

In addition, it is made of Delryn which, compared to Teflon®, resists transmission of vibrations, and has a significantly lower slippage coefficient. The very innovative bearing/spindle system, much larger and longer than usual ones, has a threaded external diameter bearing for in axis fixing and a teflon® screw on its bottom to actually enable one to, thusly, adjust the VTA (the VTA is also adjustable at the conventional tone arm level).

In addition the Teflon® screw can be substitute from another one holed in its center for insertion of an optional air pump to render the spindle air suspended.

The motor is placed in a sandwich of brass plates to avoid unwanted vibrations and is fixed on the second board to avoid unwanted vibrations could reach the platter.
