CES 2015

Hanss Acoustics' new T-60 belt drive turntable features sandwiched layers of machined Bakelite.

The tall platter, part of which can be seen between the layers, features an adjustable magnetic levitation system that can be set to "float" the platter, or have it contact the thrust pad.

We strongly recommend the latter option as floating a platter produces a spring. A spinning platter will inevitable do some up and down "bobbing".

The very handsome and well-finished T-60 costs $9950. Shown with the $9500 Durand Talea tonearm. The rest of the system in the room shared with The Lotus Group, Marten Audio and KR Audio helped produce very pleasing sound that time constraints didn't allow me to fully enjoy.
