What a difference accurate tracking makes!
787 soulution’s new linear tracking reference turntable, engineered for audiophiles who demand nothing less than perfection.
The 787 turntable features linear tracking with a moving platter and a minimal excursion pivoted tonearm. The tracking error is thus reduced to max. < 0.15°. The 8” tonearm, also compatible with high compliance cartridges, is mounted on an isolated, resonance controlled sub-chassis. The platter slides laterally to keep the pivoted tonearm aligned with a linear tracking path. The 787’s architecture eliminates the friction and unbalanced forces inherent with linear tracking tonearms where the arm is pulled toward the inner grooves by lateral forces on the outer edge of the record’s groove. The 787 provides all the benefits of low friction pivoted tonearms, but without the issues of skating forces, tracking error, and alignment challenges of traditional pivoted tonearms.
Platter
The complete platter subassembly consisting of the platter, the sub-platter with a high precision low friction sintered magnetic bearing and the platter drive motor with precious metal brushes, slides laterally underneath the tonearm on polished axles and ensures that the tracking error remains minimal from the outermost to the innermost groove of the vinyl record.
Tonearm
The tonearm combines the merits of linear and pivoted tonearms and thus provides the best from both worlds. There are no tracking forces exerted on the tonearm neither are there any issues with skating forces or tracking errors etc. Ultra precise inductive proximity sensors monitor the tonearm position and control the motor for the lateral movement of the platter which ensures that the tracking error always remains below +/- 0.15°. The tonearm features precious metal alloy tonearm cables and is adjustable for VTA and azimuth. When the platter moves into parking position the tonarm swivels out for comfortable exchange of the vinyl record.
Power supply
A switched mode power supply with highly efficient DC-DC converters and extremely low-noise and fast linear regulators generate the voltages required for the operation of the 787 turntable.
