The AT-LPA2 fully manual belt-drive turntable is a masterpiece of modern engineering featuring a high density transparent acrylic chassis and platter to provide exceptional stability and vibration damping pure uncolored sound. With its clean modern look advanced components and precision engineering the AT-LPA2 is your entry into the world of pure analog audio. FeaturesFully Manual Belt-Drive Operation (33-1/3 & 45 rpm)Phono-Level Output Provides Pure Direct TransmissionLow-Resonance High-Density Clear AcrylicNewly Designed Carbon-Fiber TonearmHighly Accurate Weighted Anti-Skate MechanismAT-OC9XEN MC Cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil Elliptical Nude StylusAcrylic ConstructionNot only is the acrylic stunning it is also an ideal material for turntable construction: with a resonant frequency similar to that of vinyl records the acrylic reduces reverberations that might otherwise aCect sound clarity. Plus the mass of the acrylic platter allows it to spin at a consistent speed.Isolated Controls and Power SupplyTo further reduce unwanted noise we’ve moved the controls and power supply into a separate unit – a feature typically found only on more expensive turntables – thereby isolating the turntable’s sensitive audio components from electrical interference associated with powering and operating the turntable’s motor. An optical sensor positioned under the spindle monitors platter rotation to maintain an accurate speed of 33-1/3 or 45 RPM.   AT-OC9XEN Moving Coil CartridgeThe AT-LPA2 comes with an AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge* which features a nude elliptical stylus (0.3 x 0.7 mil) and high-purity PCOCC coils enabling it to capture every nuance of your records with stunning clarity. The lower mass of the moving coil structure (compared to moving magnet cartridges) allows the
