For a long time, direct drive turntables have been considered of lower-quality sounding when compared to the similarly-priced belt drive models.

However, in our humble opinion, this is the result of an aggressive propaganda by the European hi-fi press, sponsored and governed by the European hi-fi industry, unable to compete with the Japanese in production of quality direct-drive turntables retailed at a modest price.

The only loosing side in this industry and marketing war were audiophiles seeking good sound at a modest price.

We firmly believe that both kinds of turntables - belt and direct drive - could give an excellent-sounding results if they are carefully designed and produced.
