RT87 Frequently Asked Questions
What's new on the RT87?
| Dual Plinth Design | The RT87 features a dual plinth design which isolates the spindle, platter, and tonearm from the motor and electronics of the turntable. This reduces the amount of vibration and noise reaching the stylus for improved audio performance. |
| Carbon Fiber Tonearm | Lightweight tonearm reduces resonance and improves groove tracking. It features VTA adjustment for optimal cartridge calibration. |
| Anti-skate by weight | Ensures consistent tracking force, lightweight, rigid, improved vibration damping and resonance control. |
| AT-VM95ML Cartridge | The AT-VM95ML stylus offers a unique multilevel shape that distributes contact pressure more uniformly for precise groove tracing, reducing distortion and enhancing detail, while providing excellent channel separation. |
| Round Belt | Minimal contact design reduces vibration. |
| 78 RPM speed | Allows playback of 78 RPM records, a 78 RPM specific stylus is strongly recommended to prevent wear on the records and stylus. |
