{"product_id":"eat-c-sharp-turntable","title":"EAT C Sharp Turntable","description":"EAT, lead by Jozefina Lichtenegger, a lady with a love for elegance and design, went into the turntable business with a completely new approach. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEuropean Audio Teams want to offer tables with the maximum of technology and Performance but still elegant looking. The Forte and Forte S with their special designed superlative heavy platter have been a revolution in the Highend Audio Market . Never a turntable combined such Kinetic energy in such elegant products. Later the E-Flat topped the concept with the first unseeable super falt highend platter in a wonderful mass loaded dual Motor Design.\nThe success of the E-Flat motivated EAT to bring an even more elegant and slim turntable to the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe C- SHARP\u003cbr\u003e\nThanks to new materials like Carbon Fibre and Termoplastic Elastomer, Eat was designing a new superflat table. The low profile base chassis is made out of highest density MDF. Because of its flatness this base sits perfectly stable on any surface! On this base the ultra low noise motor is mounted as well as 10 damping feets out of energy absorbing TPE (Termoplastic Elastomers = Hightech high energy absorbing damping material). The cone shape TPE columns carry a SANDWICH subchassis out of Carbon Fibre and MDF composite with ultimate rigidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe stiffness is important to be a super rigid base for the tonearm\/cartridge and bearing\/platter as there must be 100% zero moving tolerance between the distance of the groove and the tracking cartridge. All the rumble of the platter \/ bearing is directed in the TPE columns. On the other hand, the TPE avoids  unwanted energy of motor and surface or surrounding vibration leads to the subchassis or even to the tonearm cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe bearing is an oversized inverted with a inert, resonance free ceramic ball on top.   Around the bearing we set a super heavy 700g mass point which sucks up all energy arround. The stiff carbon subchassis helps to transport all vibration in this mass point, so vibrations are transferred to heat The platter itself  from a special alloy of very inert aluminium and is also damped by TPE inserts-It from 2 parts a subplatter and a mainplatter to keep it flat although having very high mass and kinetic energy.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe belt is made from special anti-static rubber. It is glued and then polished.\nThe tonearm itself is a completely new design which combines all advantages of a unipivot arm with a cardan design. The uni-pivot in the middle only helps the bearing to be less loaded. The traditional Cardan bearing insures high stabilty and ease of use with very low friction. Also inside the tonearm is a special silicon-based grease to damp the tonearm \/ cartridge resonances by more then 50%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe tube is again made out of carbon , super stiff and rigid. The headshell we made out of special light and rigid aluminium to get a perfect combination of the advantages of carbon with the better inner damping of the aluminium as well as the possibility of tighter mounting of Highend MC cartridges.\nAn external DC powersupply unit with an AC Generator creates new total clean power for the motors. To be sure, you have also 33 \/45 electronic switching.\nA HIGHEND solution as the whole table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nSpecifications:- \u003cbr\u003e\nNominal speed:\n33\/45 rpm, driven by microprocessor, separate control panel, lighted control buttons\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeed Variance:\n33 rpm: ± Less than 0,08%, 45 rpm: ± Less than 0,09%\u003cbr\u003e\nSignal to noise:\nS\/N Ratio ( mechanical noise): – 40 dB, Signal to noise (electrical noise): -70 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nDownforce range:\n0 – 30 mN\u003cbr\u003e\nSupplied counterweights:\nwithout additional insert → for cartridge 5 – 9g (125g), with additional insert → for cartridge 8,5 – 13g (142g)\u003cbr\u003e\nEffective tonearm mass:\n16.5 g\u003cbr\u003e\nEffective tonearm length:\n254 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nOverhang:\n16 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPower consumption:\n8,5 W max \/ 0,5 W stanby\u003cbr\u003e\nVoltage:\nUniversal swith mode power supply 15 V DC \/ 1,6 A, 90-264 V AC, 47 – 63Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions (W × H × D):\n500 × 400 × 115mm without connectors, 500 × 435 × 115mm with connectors in the rear panel\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight (without box):\n13,5 kg + 0,5 kg Separated control panel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nC-Sharp Super Pack includes Turntable with high mass platter, dual motor belt driven system including C-Note 10 inch tonearm \u0026amp; dust cover with Ortofon MC Quintet Black Cartridge.\n\n","brand":"EAT","offers":[{"title":"EAT C Sharp Turntable","offer_id":57409596981580,"sku":"EATCSHARPTURNTABLE","price":2415.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EAT C Sharp Super Pack","offer_id":57422368833868,"sku":"EATCSHARPSUPERPACK","price":2831.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/awaiting-image_67c3f106-88c4-4c17-8449-5c081c5eea8d.jpg?v=1777489280","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/eat-c-sharp-turntable","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
