Suffice to say at 30k for the arm there is definitely more to it than that. As far as details go I am under an NDA until Munich or such a time as I can tell more about it.

Stay tuned...

Gotta ask Josh, tube power supply?

There's more information on the about us page regarding the new arm, seems like they're using the electromagnet to stabilize the unipivot arm,

PS Ack thought of a stabilization scheme for his VPI arm using magnets a while back here;

Hello all,

This thread seems like a good place to introduce myself. I'm in Seattle and a new partner with Believe HiFi. I've been following Bernd @ Primary Control for years now and when I decided to launch my analog-focused audio dealership they were first on my mind. A lifelong interest in audio and vinyl replay in particular led me here, via a path with stops as an owner of a vinyl mastering studio, HiFi shop manager and then freelance turntable setup service. Web based sales with personal onsite setup and calibration is my model.

Looking forward to participating with and learning from this community!

Good morning Erik and welcome to Whats Best Forum

You're in good hands with Joshua

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread.

The Kinea turntable looks lovely, I'm unable to afford to buy one at the moment, but I would like to make a couple of questions, just out of curiosity:

- Does it feature a servo for speed regulation? The Brinkmann direct drive turntables, while being low torque, use (a very small amount) of speed regulation, the only turntables I know of that are direct drive but do not use servos or speed regulation of any kind are the Kodo the Beat (40k with tonearm, ouch!) and the Teres Certus (discontinued).

- Is the record mat an integral part that plays "with a special synergy" on the turntable, or can it be changed for another one? To be honest, at least in pictures, looks a bit ugly, not in line with the sophisticated, really well thought out turntable IMHO.

The last one is just a suggestion, but they should put the PSU/speed controller in a nicer, CNC milled box, even if it raises the price 500-1000$, the box looks like something anyone could buy at Modushop or Audiophonics, it doesn't do justice to the beauty of the turntable, again IMHO.
