Motus II DQ in Seattle

[Solypsa]

Hi all,

Setup a demo this weekend with a Motus II DQ. We are still sorting out a few things (footfall / rack mainly). It will be a somewhat unusual system in that my client uses powered Genelec speakers directly fed by a NADAC player; so for the analog we are running the STST into an AudioSpecials Phonolab (with the onboard volume control option installed) > XLR > Genelec's.


the plinth is matte black with Purpleheart. I'm a woefully impatient photographer so the color of the purpleheart is much prettier in person

Heads up:

We had to bring in a different rack system (and do a few simple structural mods) to mitigate vibration issues for this demo; so if anyone in the PNW wants to hear the Motus II in their system this month lets chat...

I really like the simplic plinth. What is the black material made out of?

Hi Bob,

The plinth top plate is covered in a matte HPL (high pressure laminate) which I like to spec as its extremely durable and doesn't show dust or fingerprints too much. One may however choose various different finishes for both top and sides as Stefan builds all tables to order. The pic below is of a Motus DQ in piano black with the top plate in a metal look to illustrate other finishes:


As the purpleheart picture is of a Motus II DQ, the fully suspended top model, the platter and armboard don't actually touch the plinth fyi...

Thanks for your update. It looks like a nice high quality table. I live in the PNW so I have some interest in this table. I am assuming most arms will work?

 

[Solypsa]

Any arm will work. The standard plinth accomodates 9" -10" or an optional larger plinth for 12".

The Motus II suspension/damping is calibrated for the arm used. Typically I supply Stefan with the arm weight (actual, not effective mass) and he sets it up. Then any tweaks required are made onsite.

Lmk if you would me to arrange an in home demo with the 12" plinth pictured...

Thanks. I will be in touch in January.
