The Groovetracer™ Subplatter consists of 3 separate components. The hub is machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum and the axle and record spindle are machined from Stainless Steel. The Standard version incorporates 3 raised surfaces machined into the hub.
The Deluxe version utilizes 3 interchangeable contacts (Delrin or Brass) for even greater versatility and performance. A premium quality Ruby bearing is supplied for both versions.
Following assembly, the subplatter
is carefully inspected for concentricity.
Groovetracer™ subplatters are compatible with these turntable models:
Rega Planar 2, 3, 25 & Rega P2, P3, P25, Rega P5 and Rega P3-24.
Nad 533, Goldring, and Moth Alamo
Important
Features.
1) Low coefficient of friction between
the bearing surfaces minimizes vibration for a lower
noise floor.
2) The record spindle is decoupled from the bearing axle to further reduce vibration transfer to the playing surface.
3) 3 point contact between the Subplatter & Platter ensures positive interface and also minimizes vibration transfer .
4) 0.001 ” concentricity between the axle and hub offers improvement in pitch control. To put this in perspective, the stock plastic subplatter deviates as much as 0.006” (0.15mm).
5) Extended length record spindle permits the use of clamps.
