Connected-Fidelity TT Hub – “bamboo” turntable
15.12.2024 06:24 | ~1 minute read
Connected-Fidelity has unveiled its new TT Hub turntable, which features an interesting design – the plinth is made of bamboo plywood. This solution offers exceptionally high vibration absorption – thanks to the strength of bamboo and its low energy storage potential.
The manufacturer claims that the Connected-Fidelity TT Hub offers a clean sound with wide stage. The turntable does not use a suspension system, but after the bamboo base, the decoupling from the surface is reinforced by adjustable brass spikes-feet.
The model is supplied as standard without a tonearm, but a full plug-n-play configuration with a Sorane tonearm and Hana cartridge is available on request in the UK market. The massive support platter is made of acrylic and has a self-lubricating bearing design made of bronze and sapphire, enclosed in an aluminum casing. The cherry on top is the semi-rigid, complete record mat, made from foam material that perfectly absorbs record vibration.
The Connected-Fidelity TT Hub uses a belt drive and is equipped with an AC motor with a quartz clock regenerator (50 Hz accuracy 0.003%).
