... and although the design or recording standards of vinyl
records have changed a lot since then - one thing remains the same - the idea.
The turntable is still an analog device, although full of modern solutions.
BennyAudio turntables are a tribute to the classics of the genre. The classic form of the plinth, classic tonearm, intuitive but still manual operation. It's a simple but uncompromising design that hides advanced solutions and modern materials.
Everything is done so that vinyl records sound as faithfully as possible, and each of them tells its own unique story. Because just like in life - the record may have scratches and crackles sometimes
Approx. 29 kg (one arm, without power supply)
Without arm
33,33 / 45 RPM
Digital control
The turntable is available in different colors:
Plint in the main part made by hand from several layers of carefully selected beech plywood – glued and then twisted for greater rigidity.
The top and bottom of the plinth is closed with 10mm thick aluminum plates. In addition, between the aluminum and the main part of the plinth there is a 3mm thick stainless steel plate separated from the aluminum by a 2mm layer of vibration damping material.
The tonearm is bolted to a POM cylinder rigidly attached to the base of the plinth.
The design allows one tonearm to be mounted.
The tonearm and plinth are fully grounded.
12.5-inch unipivot tonearm
Materials used:
The arm is adjustable in every plane which makes it universal for many cartridges.
A hand-machined plate made of POM, 65mm thick, weight about 7.5 kg.
Available colors: black
POM is a construction material that works perfectly as a turntable platter due to its vinyl-like properties. This is also confirmed by other leading turntable manufacturers using POM platters in their top designs.
Inverted, hydrodynamic bearing.
The main part is the aluminum body, inside which the 15mm stainless steel core moves smoothly in a sleeve of synthetic material with very good sliding properties.
Contrary to commonly used bronze, the material mentioned is abrasion resistant. This confirms the use of this material in heavy industry and the automotive industry.
The platter mass is supported on a tungsten carbide ball (YG8). To reduce noise, a Teflon washer was used between the ball and steel core. The bearing base is made of POM and is rigidly bolted to the inner layer of the plinth.
The bearing is manually polished for minimal friction.
The brushless DC motor is embedded in the plinth in such a way as to minimize the negative impact of vibrations and their transmission to the platter and tonearm.
Speed tuning is done automatically every few revolutions with an accuracy of 12 bits (4096 accuracy positions which corresponds to voltage changes of 0.8 mV). A digital reflection sensor and driver programmed by BennyAudio were used for this purpose.
Switching 33.33 to 45 speeds is done with the button. It is possible to change over while the engine is running. The button backlight changes depending on the selected speed.
The speed deviation measured digitally (gyro – WOW 2sigma) during disc playback is +/- between 0.08 and 0.02%
Speed accuracy +/- 0.35%
