The Transrotor ZET 1 vinyl player is the junior version of the Transrotor ZET 3 player, one of the manufacturer's most successful developments. The player allows for the use of a basic configuration with one tonearm, but also offers options such as a base for a second tonearm and a two-engine drive system (for this connection, a different power control unit will be required).
Features:
- Anti-vibration acrylic chassis
- Massive 14 kg aluminum disk
- Ability to install other tonearms
- MC Cantare cartridge
- Rega RB 880 tonearm
- Dual synchronous motor with an external power supply
- 3 spike feet with fine threading for precise leveling.
The Transrotor Cantare is a MC type cartridge with a Harmonic diamond needle profile and an output level of 0.5 mV. Based on the Goldring Eroica model, the Transrotor Cantare provides incredibly rich sound without boosting high frequencies, guaranteeing a unique listening experience. This cartridge is easy to install and works well with a variety of tonearms.
The ZET 1 base is made from a single sheet of acrylic (available in black or white). The support disk weighs 14 kg with the bearing.
The Transrotor ZET 1 is mounted on a stand using three supports that go through the entire thickness of the table. The steel supports have threading for precise leveling, with massive aluminum knobs on top for easier adjustment. The construction is discreet and the design is enhanced by polished aluminum shoe pads that come with silicone rims on the bottom.
The acrylic base is where all other player components are mounted or installed. The aluminum bearing housing features concentric waves and a bronze insert cup, with a steel bearing pulley connected to an aluminum sub-disk. The bearing is non-inverted and uses liquid lubrication.
The main disk is made of aluminum, providing substantial weight and enhanced resonant properties. The lower surface of the disk has a wavy texture, and it comes with an acrylic mat and an aluminum clamp to prevent slipping.
The synchronous AC motor is encased in a heavy aluminum housing with a two-stage pulley and an on/off button. In the basic configuration, the belt needs to be manually shifted on the motor pulley for different speeds, as speed adjustments are not included. The motor is directly mounted on the player base, with small silicone cushioning pads for vibration isolation attached underneath.
Package includes:
- ZET 1 turntable
