Product Overview & Specifications
Designed by Rik Stoet, the Takumi TT Level 2.1DC Turntable is a meticulously engineered analog playback system crafted to deliver exceptional listening purity[cite: 1]. The turntable combines a precision-machined acrylic chassis—chosen for its superior vibration damping and acoustic neutrality—with a low-noise, belt-driven DC motor isolated in a damped enclosure to prevent unwanted mechanical resonance[cite: 1]. Speed rotation accuracy is actively monitored and maintained via an integrated Hall effect sensor and magnetic ring[cite: 1].
The Takumi 2.1 features a mechanically silent platter assembly comprising a solid aluminum subplatter, a ceramic axle in a brass bearing, and an acrylic platter designed to interface directly with the record surface[cite: 1]. Playback precision is further enhanced by a lightweight titanium tonearm with full cardanic bearings, complete adjustability (VTA, azimuth, anti-skating, and lift height), and an included Audio-Technica AT3600L moving magnet cartridge[cite: 1]. The system incorporates an external SpeedPod Controller for electronic speed selection (33 1/3 and 45 RPM) with fine-tuning in ultra-precise 0.01 RPM increments[cite: 1].
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- Precision-Machined Acrylic Chassis: Selected for its acoustic neutrality and vibration damping capabilities to ensure quiet, stable vinyl playback[cite: 1].
- Isolated Belt-Driven DC Motor: Motor is housed in a damped, isolated enclosure decoupled from the main platter to prevent motor vibration transfer[cite: 1].
- Hall Effect Speed Monitoring: Employs a Hall effect sensor and magnetic ring to continuously maintain accurate motor rotational speed[cite: 1].
- External SpeedPod Electronic Controller: Provides electronic speed selection between 33 1/3 and 45 RPM with fine-tuning in ±1.00 RPM ranges using 0.01 RPM steps[cite: 1].
- Mechanically Silent Bearing & Platter System: Solid aluminum subplatter featuring a ceramic axle and precision brass bearing, paired with an acrylic platter for clear transients[cite: 1].
- Adjustable Titanium Tonearm: Lightweight titanium armtube with a fixed headshell and full cardanic bearings offering complete adjustability for VTA, azimuth, anti-skating, and cue height[cite: 1].
- Adjustable Damped Isolation Feet: Three height-adjustable feet featuring internal damping and an integrated top-deck bubble level for precise chassis setup[cite: 1].
- Integrated Shielded Phono Cable: Includes a 120 cm shielded phono cable designed to minimize signal loss and external interference[cite: 1].
