Product Information

  Belvedere
  Bluenote > Turntable

The Deck 12 is a Rigid belt driven turntable with a Very open sound, detailed and with a full body. Its 20mm thick platter is made of transparent polyvinyl to have a good rotational stability and 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 bearing/spindle system, much larger and longer than usual ones, has a Teflon® bottom to increase its quietness during platter rotation. As optional is available a very innovative bearing/spindle system, threaded on its external diameter bearing for in axis fixing and with 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 air pump to render the spindle air suspended. The motor is placed in a sandwich of brass plates to avoid unwanted vibrations.
