The Hartvig TT Signature turntable features a 30 pound platter of aluminum and acrylic and a hardened steel bearing shaft with an aluminum base, plus a precision honed bronze bushing with a ceramic ball and Teflon thrust pad.

As with the Da Vinci, the attraction here is more implementation than design innovation. Imported to America by AA Audio imports. Price TBD
