Turntables

Bellavista Signature (Limited Edition)

The new Bellavista Signature is our best unsprung turntable. It features a 20mm thick rigid double plinth, decoupled with six brass spacers and a belt drives a 22mm thick polyvinyl platter. Its sound qualities outperform the other unprung company turntable on account of the very fine decoupling system that absorbs and dissipates vibrations. The rounded corners of the plinth also help to improve the rigidity of the entire structure.

The turntable is made of parts exclusively manufactured using the highest standards of machining and quality of materials to achieve an outstanding sonic performance.

The turntable features a 22mm thick platter that is made of solid black polyvinyl.  Underneath the platter there are 9 gold plated weights that increase the peripheral mass of the platter and ensure rotational stability.

The Bellavista Signature also employs the Tulipan™ aluminium pulley made in the shape of a flower. Once the threaded cone inside is turned, the diameter of the Tulipan™ pulley changes to provide a super fine speed adjustment capability.

The innovative platter bearing/spindle system, much larger and longer than normal, is based on a bronze external threaded bearing that ensures perfect on-axis alignment of the Split-Spindle™. Both are electronically machined and polished to tolerances better than 1/100 of a millimetre, enabling world class sound performance.

The two piece rectified steel Split-Spindle™ clamps the platter tight, completely eliminating all unwanted vibrations and oscillations, that would otherwise interfere with the tone arm’s ability to accurately track the record. At the bottom of the external platter bearing a special threaded bearing made of Arnite© (one of the hardest and toughest self lubricant plastic polymers available) ensures the steadiness of turntable rotation.

Also the Bellavista Signature offers the most sophisticated exclusive Highly Dampened Motor system, HDM, allows a super silent smooth rotation so far unthinkable for AC motor design that completely redefines the concept of turntable performance.
