ENGLISH
The inner and outer platters are both machined from solid aluminium alloy instead of normal castings to ensure
the material is homogeneous. Each complete platter is constructed of two parts that are ‘friction’ fitted together.
Each part is designed as a tuning fork and hence it’s free from any nonlinearity. Their natural frequencies are
linearly damped, as these two parts are joined together by friction only. The platters are machined to extremely
high tolerances to ensure roundness and balance. Required inertia for a smooth and constant angular speed is
achieved through high peripheral distribution of mass. This maximizes inertia to mass ratio and reduces undue
pressure on the bearing contact point. It is this level of attention to detail throughout the design that ensures
musical integrity.
