Xpression III Classic vs Xpression III 

Classic upgrades include:

- Timber Veneer finish
- Aluminium platter (instead of acrylic platter)
- cork mat, as well as the Xpression III felt mat 

Turntable  

• Available finishes. Mahogany or olive veneer 

• A quiet running AC motor with a two-step pulley drives the hub and platter via a flat-ground belt.  

• The medium density fibre plinth stands on three height-adjustable rubber-damped aluminium cones.  

• The motor is decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission.  

• The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub, a fine-balanced aluminium platter and a cork mat (a standard felt mat is supplied also).  

• The platter's low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing housing.  

• Connection to the phono input of the amplifier can be made with connecting cables of your taste through the gold plated phono sockets and earth screw. A standard cable is provided.  

• External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference.  

Tonearm 8.6c  

• As an optional extra, the turntable is supplied with Ortofon 2M Red MM-cartridge fitted.  

• Conical carbon-fibre armtube avoids standing wave reflections.  

• Low mass aluminium headshell securely glued to armtube.  

• The inverted bearings consist of four hardened stainless steel points bearing in sapphire cushes.  

• Flexible counterweight shaft avoids vibration at undesirable frequencies.  

• Solid armbase permits accurate height adjustment of armtube and VTA (vertical tracing angle).  

• The counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 7 - 12g . An alternative counterweight for cartridges weighing between 4 - 7g is available as an accessory part.  

• Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell.  

• Silicone-damped armlift can be adjusted to suit working height of the arm.  

• The internal wiring consists of flexible high-purity copper from the headshell right through to the gold-plated phono sockets.
