Product Description

PLINTH

The plinth for the Fortissimo makes use of the mass-loaded principle and employs a large, heavy chassis that provides great levels of stability intended to support the platter and tonearm. The plinth uses metal sand pellets to add further weight and anti-resonance properties to the turntable and separates the record from the electrical components of the turntable.   

The Forte’s chassis is fitted with large magnetic feet containing their own stabilisation system, that decouples the turntable from the surface beneath and any vibrations given off from the motor. The platter for the Forte S is driven by a dual motor system that assists in providing consistent speed stability. 

PLATTER

Like the platter used with the E.A.T. Forte, the Fortissimo S utilises two differing alloys stretching a massive diameter of 400mm, benefiting the turntable with improved stability and anti-resonance properties. The Fortissimo S then incorporates 12 brass inserts around the edge of the platter, along with a top brass plate that provides additional weight for enhanced speed stability as well as lending the turntable a unique aesthetic that is sure to catch the eye.  

TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) damping is then integrated into the underside of the platter, reducing any variances and improving the tolerances of the turntable. The final aspect of the Fortissimo S' platter is the layer of melted vinyl that the playing record is mounted on for excellent coupling of the playback surface and the platter. 

TONEARM

The Fortissimo S is available with a wide choice of tonearm options, including the flagship E.A.T. F-Note. When installed with an F-Note, the performance is exceptional and truly worthy of the turntable's high-end status. 

CARTRIDGE

The Fortissimo is available with different cartridge options. To keep its true high-end status it is best considered with the Jo No. 8 moving coil cartridge for a truly unrivalled audio experience.
