Esoteric T1 AL - Turntable

A new initiative to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Esoteric legacy;
It is the first turntable in our history, the Grandioso T1.
It houses a unique patented contactless actuation mechanism,
the "Esoteric MagneDrive System", which inductively synchronizes the rotations
of a magnetic driver and a platter, realizing a silent and silky smooth rotation
at an extraordinarily precise rotation speed.

Technical features
The platter is vibration-free.
Absolutely precise rotation of the platter, free from speed irregularities, potentially caused by mechanical contacts, such as belt, rim or engine.
Adjustability of sound characteristics by manually changing the distance between the platter and the driver.
No worries about needing replacement straps.

This turntable, featuring 10MHz Clock Sync capability for the motor drive unit and 3-piece independent chassis configuration, is the culmination of Esoteric's unique design philosophy and mechanical/electronic technology.

Main features
Esoteric's patented contactless drive system "Esoteric MagneDrive System"
The Magne-Float platter significantly reduces spindle bearing friction reducing the effective platter mass from 19kg to approximately 4kg.
Consists of 3 separate units: main unit, motor unit and power unit.
The high-quality VCXO motor driver ensures precise platter rotation.
10MHz clock synchronization capability with the Grandioso G1X Master Clock.
The inverted bearing system supports smooth platter rotation.
The micrometric knob on the front panel allows fine adjustment of the sonic characteristics by adjusting the intensity of the magnetic force applied by the magnetic driver to the platter.
The triple-layer aluminum and wood frame effectively controls vibration.
The center frame is covered with a beautiful, high-gloss piano lacquer.
The isolation feet have a special damping mechanism that eliminates external vibrations.
Two-speed control (33/45 rpm), adjustable in 0.1% increments. The T1 is offered with a TA-9D dynamic balance tonearm or without a tonearm configuration.
The optional arm card allows the T1 to accommodate up to 3 arms.
