Xtension 12 Evolution n/c in Contact. High-end, 55-lb (25–30 kg) belt-drive turntable featuring a mass-loaded magnetic floating chassis and a sandwich alloy/vinyl platter. Engineered to eliminate resonance, it uses magnetic suspension feet, a 12-inch carbon fiber tonearm and an integrated electronic speed control.
Key Features:
- Core Design and Structural Features.
- Mass-Loaded/Floating Hybrid: The turntable features a heavy, metal-granulate filled MDF plinth (total weight approx. 22-30 kg) that provides high-mass stability.
- Magnetic Suspension Feet: The chassis rests on four individually height-adjustable, magnetic-field feet that "float" the turntable to decouple it from surface vibrations.
- Sandwich Platter: A heavy (5.7kg / 12.6lbs) platter made from a TPE-damped aluminum alloy, with a recycled vinyl layer on top, creating a superior surface for records and reducing resonance.
- Inverted Bearing: Features a magnet-supported, inverted main bearing with a stainless steel axle and a ceramic thrust-pad to minimize friction and noise.
- 12cc Evolution Tonearm: Equipped with a 12-inch, one-piece carbon fiber tonearm, reducing standing wave reflections and optimizing tracking.
- Azimuth & VTA Adjustment: The tonearm base is fully adjustable for VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) and allows easy rotation of the armtube for azimuth adjustment.
- High-Mass Interchangeable Armboard: The tonearm is mounted on an isolated, high-mass board, and it can be swapped for other 12-inch tonearms.
