Hailing from Germany, it established itself as a favoured entry-level option for audiophiles, often found as part of classic budget hi-fi systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe turntable incorporates a suspended sub-chassis design, where the platter, tonearm, and top plate are mounted on a spring-isolated platform. This construction helps to minimise the impact of external vibrations and footfall, contributing to more stable playback.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOperation is semi-automatic: the platter begins to spin upon cueing the tonearm, and at the record's conclusion, the tonearm is automatically lifted and the motor stopped. It also features a pitch control system for fine-tuning playback speed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Suspended sub-chassis for vibration isolation\u003cbr\u003e- Semi-automatic start and stop functions\u003cbr\u003e- Vari-Speed pitch adjustment\u003cbr\u003e- Ultra Low Mass (ULM) tonearm with dual gyroscopic gimbal bearing\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Why Buy New","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64967785677177,"sku":"D505TT-SOR-F-SV","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/8409\/6055\/files\/138a1d94-93de-4c63-82f5-4783b16a3456.jpg?v=1792675197","url":"https:\/\/whybuynew.co.uk\/products\/dual-505-belt-drive-turntable-spares-or-repairs","provider":"Why Buy New","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
