Harman Kardon, Quartz lock, floating suspension, turntable

Q&A Is it still available? – yes, it is What’s your best price? – Price is firm Whereabouts are you located? – Glastonbury neighbourhood in Edmonton I will have it all set up so you can see the functionality and enjoy the wonderful sound. Will consider trading in’s on your old turntable that’s in need of service/repair . I’m located in Edmonton, but travel to Hinton and Slavelake once a week and can meet along the way for an exchange This unit includes a virtually new 2M red Ortofon cartridge/stylus ($275) without cartridge / stylus). In the Harman Kardon T60, a quartz-lock motor, sensitive to absolute speed rather than rotational deviation, utilizes a quartz tuning element to "sense" 45 and 33rpm to automatically maintain constant speed. No fine tuning is ever necessary, but if you want to adjust speed manually, you can. The platter is more massive still than that of the T40 - with the disc stabilizer for tracking accuracy and high density rubber platter mat for vibration damping. Under the platter, we've put a rubber ring for even further acoustical damping. An optically sensed auto-lift tonearm is incorporated, eliminating the return mechanism entirely. This minimizes unwanted tonearm and cartridge vibration. At the tonearm base is a high mass, die-cast aluminium support structure which houses the minimum-friction microrace bearings. A sophisticated and unique 3-point floating suspension system is employed in the T60. It is precisely counterbalanced with a weight opposite the tonearm assembly to center the moving mass at the platter spindle. Gold connector plugs at each end of a detachable ultra-low capacitance cable, for better conductance are standard.
