Thales Elegance Turntable with Simplicity II Tonearm

Thales Elegance High-End Turntable The Thales Elegance is a high-quality turntable matching all our tonearms perfectly. Basic research has enabled us to perfect the belt-drive system by a unique arrangement of its parts. This achieves a precise, well-founded and harmonious reproduction quality that was previously not possible in such a refined device. Obviously, such compact design enables a mechanical stability that could not be achieved with a more expansive concept. Each of the 135 parts has been carefully designed to perform its function in the overall concept perfectly. While playing a record on a turntable, the platter and drive are affected by dynamic impact of the tracking process. The Thales Elegant is equipped with two unique solutions to minimise such negative influence.  First, an eddy current brake applies a relatively high, speed-dependent braking torque directly to the platter. This enables precise control of the drive motor by means of a simple current limiter and
