Product Details

Description

The Performance DC has been the analog listener's mid-tier reference for over a decade. A CNC-machined aluminum plinth carries a 40mm POM main platter, driven by a decoupled DC motor with Optical Speed Control keeping the platter within ±0.04% at every speed. Ceramic Magnetic Bearing standard.

Ships with a preinstalled Verify tonearm, ready for a cartridge of the listener's choosing. A single tonearm mount is standard; upgrade paths exist across every subsystem — platter, motor pod, PSU, tonearm.

Available on demonstration at LMC Scottsdale.
