Our goal was achieved when we set out to design a new milestone in turntable performance, aiming for an ‘ultimate’ high mass turntable, but still elegant and stylish. The Ascona represents the full realization of that goal, a pinnacle of achievement and outcome of our 19 year in-house research, design and ultra-precision machining expertise. The Ascona story starts from the top down with the record platter; we know full well that the perfect turntable requires a resonant free platter rotating with perfect stability. Here are some of the many technical features and sections we machine that make the Ascona such an outstanding design. The chassis is milled out from a 2.6” thick block of aluminum and forms part of the integrated turntable ground plate.
Combined with the new platter the Ascona has a weight of 176 pounds. We grind the surfaces by hand, a lengthy but essential process to achieve a stunning perfection with a visual presentation to match.
