The entire body of this turntable including the bottom is made out of birch plywood, which makes it durable, stable, and nonresonant. This model Muse 3A could be coated in three different colours: Carnelian Red, White and Black depending on the customer’s choice. The platter, which is raised slightly above the main body, and hidden supports feet create an illusion of a light, almost hovering item, although the turntable is quite heavy. The main bearing system of model Muse 3A is the same as in model Muse 3C.
It is a reverse sliding thrust ball bearing for a main axis. The bearing ball is made from stainless steel and the lateral stability is achieved by using a very durable and low-noise sliding bearing. Muse 3A turntable has a user changeable traction system. It can be switched to a belt drive or friction drive very easily same as Muse 3C. The main difference between the models Muse 1C, Muse 3C and Muse 3A is that Muse 3A uses a single, powerful, precision Coreless DC motor. A system like this ensures less noise coming from the drive system which may be transferred to LP and phono cartridge.
Turntable Muse 3A has a digital control system indicator, which specifies the rotating speed of the platter and other important operating system information. In addition, the display shows an inclinometer connected to a very accurate level, which is important for correct adjustments of horizontality. Muse 3A allows a customer to mount one or two tonearms possible centre or offcentre mounting, of an effective length from 9.5″ to 12″ inclusive.
Drive is belt or friction, one coreless DC motor, max deviation of average speed is +– 0.05%, and tonearms are up to two, centre or off-centre mounting; effective length from 9.5“ to 12“. The bearing ball is made from stainless steel and the lateral stability is achieved by using a very durable sliding bearing. This turntable meets the highest quality requirements and you should check it if you need or want a turntable. ■
