Quartz lock meets linear drive.When Fisher introduced our radically new linear drive turntable two years ago, it was hailed as the most important advance in turntables since direct drive. But now we've taken linear drive to a new level of performance, by combining it with a sophisticated quartz-locked speed control. Presenting the MT6250 Studio Standard turntable-we think the world's finest. The MT6250 uses the same 120-pole linear motor direct drive system that has been thoroughly proven in other Fisher turntables. This system uses three precisely phased drive coils to propel a 120-pole magnetic strip en circling the turntable platter. And it is so elegantly simple and smooth that it would be difficult to improve upon. The overlapping drive pulses and large number of poles (compared with 12 or 16 in conventional direct drive systems) assure almost perfect smoothness, freedom from "cogging" and lower wow & flutter. For speed stability, Fisher engineered a unique, quartz crystal-controlled, phase locked loop speed servo. The servo electronically monitors the rotation of the platter thousands of times every minute, and keeps it locked in perfect sync with the crystal oscillator. This system is so stable that speed variation of the MT6250 is practically zero. Of course, the rest of the MT6250 lives up to the performance standards set by its drive system. The fully-counterbalanced tonearm easily handles virtually any cartridge, and provides the convenience of automatic return and shutoff at end of record, or when reject is actuated. Built into the beautifully finished base are adjust able leveling feet and a bubble level which doubles as a stylus overhang gauge. If you want the best per forming turntable money can buy, see and hear the Fisher MT6250 at $300.* Quartz lock meets linear drive now at selected audio dealers or the audio department of your favorite department store.
