Pro-Ject RM1.3 w/Sumiko Pearl Cartridge - White A quiet running synchronous motor with a two-step pulley drives the platter's outside edge via a rubber belt. The drive motor is isolated on its own platform and completely decoupled from the plinth to eliminate vibration transmission. The resonance-optimised platter is made of medium density fibre. A inverted, chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished metal ball in a sintered bronze bearing housing. Connection to the phono input of the amplifier can be made with connecting cables of your taste through the gold plated phono sockets and earth screw.
