PLINTH

The base layer of the C-Sharp is made from low-profile, stable MDF, finished to a high standard, and houses the turntables motor system. Mounted within the base is an MDF/carbon-fibre sandwich chassis that carries the tonearm and bears the weight of the high-mass platter. This sub-chassis layer is decoupled from the base by 10 TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) cones, for ultimate decoupling of the playback platform from the motor system.

An external DC powersupply unit with an AC Generator creates a totally clean power supply for the motor, and also gives convenient access to speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM. 

PLATTER

The platter for the C-Sharp has been designed to add mass to the turntable and act as a further deterrence against unwanted vibrations from the motor. The platter employs a special alloy of inert aluminium, that is then damped by TPE, helping to keep any variances to a minimum.  

The need for a mat is eliminated as the platter for the C-Sharp has a layer of vinyl melted on top, which assists in providing an optimal surface to play your vinyl, reducing any unwanted static and dust that is commonly attracted to felt mats. The C-Sharp also comes supplied with a low-mass aluminium record clamp to ensure a secure fit of the record during playback and provide you with the best listening experience possible.  

TONEARM

Due to the increased scale of the C-Sharp's main platter, the turntable has been fitted with E.A.T’s technically sophisticated 10-inch C-Note tonearm, which benefits from improved tracking of the record groove due to its longer length. The C-Note incorporates both aluminium and carbon-fibre into its unpivot design for increased rigidity along with dexterity, ensuring playback is smooth and any unwanted motor vibrations are not transported through to the cartridge.  

The construction of carbon-fibre and aluminium used in the C-Note tonearm combines perfectly with the C-Sharp's own mixof carbon fibre and aluminium, providing not only improved anti-resonance properties, but a visually considered record player with a lasting impression. 

CARTRIDGE

The C-Sharp is offered with a pre-fitted Jo No.5 moving coil cartridge in the box. The Jo No.5 is manufactured using a unique process called Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which processes thin layers of powder to build the final structure. The Jo No.5 is made with a nude fine-line stylus that will provide you with great precision and detail, that will match the efficiency of the other components used.
