Overview

A new undertaking to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the Esoteric legacy; it’s the first-ever turntable in our history, the Grandioso T1. Accommodating a patent-registered unique contact-free drive mechanism, the “Esoteric MagneDrive System”, that inductively synchronizes the rotations of a magnetic driver and platter, realizing a quiet and silky-smooth rotation at an extraordinarily accurate rotation speed.

Features

  • Esoteric’s patented contact-free drive system “Esoteric MagneDrive System”

  • Magne-Float platter greatly reduces spindle bearing friction by reducing platter’s effective mass from 19kg down to approx. 4kg.

  • Consists of 3 separated units: main unit, motor unit, and power supply unit.

  • High quality VCXO motor driver ensures precise platter rotation.

  • 10MHz Clock Sync capability with the Grandioso G1X Master Clock.

  • Inverted bearing system supports smooth rotation of the platter.

  • The Micrometer knob on the front panel provides fine-tuning capability of sonic characteristics, by adjusting the strength of magnetic force being applied from the magnetic driver to the platter.

  • Triple layer chassis made of Aluminum and wood, effectively controls vibration.

  • The mid-chassis is applied with beautiful high gross piano lacquer.

  • The isolation feet have a special damping mechanism that eliminates external vibration.

  • Two speed control (33/45 rpm), adjustable with 0.1% order.

  • The T1 is offered with TA-9D dynamic balance tonearm, or without tonearm configuration.

  • Optional arm-board allows the T1 accommodates up to 3 tonearms.
