LTA-710 Precision Tonearm

Developed in collaboration with SAEC, the LTA-710 tonearm employs a knife-edge bearing system for exceptional sensitivity and precise tracking.

With a 10-inch effective length, it minimises tracking errors and resists surface vibrations, ensuring superb vinyl playback.

Fully adjustable for stylus pressure, anti-skating, and height, it supports cartridges weighing between 4–11g, catering to a variety of configurations.

High-Torque Drive System

Powered by a brushless DC motor with PID control, the PD-191A achieves ultra-stable platter rotation.

The sine wave PWM/PID speed control ensures precision, aided by a MEMS oscillator for consistent performance.

Supports three speeds: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM, each with a ±6% adjustment range for added flexibility.

Advanced Platter and Bearings

The 5.2kg aluminium platter, machined from a solid billet, offers high inertia (0.7t·cm²) for smooth, stable rotation.

A PEEK thrust bearing and brass radial bearing lubricated with organic molybdenum oil provide durability and long-term performance.

Optimised Chassis and Suspension

The underslung suspension system, combined with a 15mm aluminium top plate, minimises vibration and enhances rigidity.

Motor and transformer vibrations are isolated by a metal baseplate and damping materials.

Four height-adjustable feet with damping rubber ensure stability and resist external interference.

Sophisticated Design

A luxurious rosewood-stained front panel complements the sleek aluminium top plate for a timeless aesthetic.

The turntable’s profile is 12mm lower than the PD-171A, giving it a refined and contemporary look.

Additional Features

Equipped with a reflected LED stroboscope for easy speed monitoring and fine-tuning.

Features interchangeable tonearm bases, accommodating third-party options, including a 12-inch base for SME 3012 tonearms.

Includes an optional 4mm acrylic dust cover to protect the turntable.
