Audio Note TT-1 Deluxe Turntable
Audio Note TT-1 Deluxe Turntable
The TT1 Deluxe is a little unusual alongside many modern turntables as it’s a classic enclosed box construction. This gives it an understated and arguably less flashy appearance than the more common skeletal designs offered by its competitors. Where it scores especially highly, apart from the fact it is a design that has been finessed over many years (it can trace its lineage back to the 1980s), is the superb quality of the finishes available. The finishes are applied over plywood (a sonically great material) and made in the same factory that produces the Audio Note loudspeakers.
Mechanically it’s a suspended sub chassis design, with the chassis hanging from three springs which can easily be adjusted for different tonearm weights. The acrylic platter is machined to feature the most mass at its extremities for greater flywheel effect and the TT1 features a single motor, unlike its bigger brothers.
It comes without a tonearm and the armboard is cut for a single point 'Rega' fitting which is suitable for use with the Audio Note Arm One/II, Arm Two/II and Arm Three/II tonearms. Also available is a blank armboard for custom cutting to suit most other circa 9" tonearms.
An electronic power supply is also available as an upgrade.
