Unitorque direct-drive turntable
Hitachi's HT-356 Semi-Automatic Turntable is the epitome of accuracy. Its patented Unitorque motor has two star-shaped stator coils arranged for precise balance, even torque distribution and low temperature rise. Brushless, coreless and slotless, it eliminates cogging and vibration. And this direct drive marvel features quartz-locked control to keep platter speed free from deviation or drift, regardless of changes in load, temperature or line voltage.
Quartz is the most accurate frequency generating element known to man. Coupled with Unitorque's inherent smoothness, it leads to extremely low wow and flutter and virtually unmeasurable turntable rumble. 0.03% WRMS and a S/N ratio of 75 dB (DIN B). This impressive performer also has front-mounted controls for full operation with the dust cover down.
The Hitachi HT-356. It's the accurate choice.
