ODYSSEY

High-end reference-class turntable

Construction

Odyssey is a reference-class turntable designed to eliminate resonances and ensure precise signal transmission.

Its three-layer plinth, crafted from aluminum and POM, rests atop a rigid base — both machined from solid blocks of material using high-precision CNC tools. The plinth and base sit on stainless steel feet with porcelain inserts for maximum stability and isolation.

At the heart of the design is a three-platter system (Delrin and stainless steel) with a total mass of 17 kg, delivering exceptional rotational stability. A custom oil-lubricated bearing features a 15 mm shaft, a sintered carbide ball, and a sleeve made of aluminum and PEEK.

The turntable is powered by a standalone BLDC motor housed in a heavy casing, offering automatic speed correction, soft start/stop, and user-selectable illumination in 13 colors. The drivetrain delivers outstanding WOW & Flutter performance, verified using SHAKNSPIN 2.

Our proprietary tonearm is available in lengths from 9 to 14 inches, with full adjustability and direct mono-crystal silver wiring for uncompromised signal integrity.

Each Odyssey is hand-assembled in limited batches, with meticulous quality control at every stage.
