| INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES
UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE WITH CURVED
PLINTHS
The Bellagio Reference features five different
curved plinths to deliver great stiffness and
indeformability through its architecture,
which also allows superb control over
resonances. The plinths are connected
with aluminium spacers, each of different
thickness, joined together to minimise
vibrations and completely insulate the platter
from the surrounding environment. The
large feet are custom design and made of
aluminum from solid blocks through CNC
machining. For the Bellagio Reference, we
designed one of the best bearing/spindle
systems ever made, entirely made of carbon
steel, hardened and rectified, then polished
to guarantee the best smoothness to the
rotation of the platter. Polished bronze is
used for the bearing housing, engineered to
reach a 1/100 millimetre tolerance with the
spindle.
The new hourglass-shaped motor pulley
stops the transmission of any vibration
thanks to its dampening qualities. It’s
precisely machined and then polished to
achieve perfectly smooth surfaces in order
to guarantee low noise and high rotational
stability.
OUR BEST TURNTABLE EVER
The Bellagio Reference is our exclusive
limited edition turntable, a statement of
precise engineering and Italian design
capable of delivering exceptional High-End
audio performance. Thanks to its curve-
plinth architecture, the Bellagio Reference
is a unique turntable made with high quality
components and carefully chosen materials,
such as the carbon steel platter spindle and
the ceramic ball bearing, or the massive
ultra-dampened platter.
PRECISELY CALIBRATED MOTOR
The Bellagio Reference is powered by
our very best proprietary control system
developed with a Quadral-Core micro-
controller and enhanced by an audio
converter. The power control reshapes
the AC wave to perfectly drive the 12V
synchronous motor removing vibrations while
improving its torque to deliver the greatest
dynamic and the finest detail.
The power supply of the Bellagio Reference
electronically controls the 33
1
/
3
rpm and
45rpm mode as well as the fine speed
adjustment, storing the settings into its
memory. This special power supply leverages
a super inductive dual-choke hybrid design
- with a filter on the analogue stage and a
dual choke design. Our proprietary Dual-
Choke design perfectly filters the voltage
to eliminate any interference and electrical
noise from the power system, providing an
effective shielding from the power grid and
creating the ideal working environment for
the turntable to perform at the best.
