The Grandioso T1 is the first-even turntable in the history of Esoteric. 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.
Magne-Float platter greatly reduces spindle bearing friction by reducing platter’s effective mass from 19kg down to approx. 4kg.
Grandioso T1 consists of 3 spearated units: main unit, motor unit, and power supply unit.
High quality VCXO motor driver ensures precise platter rotation. In addition, 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-classis 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 Grandioso T1 is offered with TA-9D dynamic balance tonearm, or without tonearm configuration.
