Andover Audio SpinDeck 2 Semi-Automatic Turntable

Restricting Resonance

Because a phono cartridge is designed to respond to vibrations, the turntable must protect the music from any kind of vibration or resonance, whether internal or external. For this compelling reason, the SpinDeck 2 turntable fights resonance across the board. Shelf-borne vibration is suppressed by sturdy rubber isolator feet. The motor minimizes vibration, while the platter is further protected by the drive belt. A special high density rubber damping mat is affixed to the bottom of the platter, and a soft silicone rubber slip mat supports your record while damping any remaining vibrations. And of course, the supplied dust cover helps block airborne vibration. The result is wonderfully clear music reproduction, even in quiet passages.

Up to Speed

Because the speed of platter rotation translates directly to Musical pitch, wavering speed degrades the music. That’s why the DC motor is meticulously stabilized. And the diecast, machined aluminum platter acts as a flywheel, for an added degree of tonal clarity.

Automatic Shutoff

For your convenience, at the end of a side, the tonearm automatically lifts and returns to its rest and the platter stops. The automatic mechanism is engineered with acetal resin – a clever material that self-lubricates for exceptionally long operating life.

High-Precision Tonearm with Pre-Mounted Cartridge

To effortlessly track the record, the aluminum tonearm uses exceptionally precise metal bearings, low mass, an adjustable counterweight and integrated headshell. The pre-mounted AT 3600 phono cartridge from Audio-Technica helps bring out the inner beauty of your albums. And even if you’re new to turntables, setup is a snap.

The Centerpiece of Your System

Available in black or white finish, the SpinDeck 2 turntable is a cosmetic match for Andover Audio's SpinBase™ and SpinBase MAX systems. But it’s also a fabulous choice for connecting to a traditional component high fidelity system. However you prefer to listen, the SpinDeck 2 turntable is a terrific choice.
