The new The Classic Reference combines technical finesse and luxury design like no other turntable. It is based on the The Classic EVO and the experience we gained designing our iconic turntable for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
Acacia Brass Version
Piano Silver Version
33/45/78 RPM
Precision motor control
The motor is powered by a DC-driven AC generator which creates a completely clean sine wave to ensure highest speed stability.
Limited Edition
Hand-selected cartridge
The Classic Reference is available with the limited edition VPO Anniversary MC cartridge which was finetuned together with members of the Vienna Philharmonics and built in Europe by Ortofon according to our specifications.
Main Platter
A throne for your records
The platter is precisely machined out of a special aluminium alloy with a TPE ring on the inside, which offers special damping abilities.
Alu Sub Platter
Best speed accuracy
The diamond cut aluminium sub-platter can be machined to much improved and lower tolerances compared to standard plastic sub-platters. It adds more mass to the entire platter and drive system, resulting in additional damping of noise and unwanted resonances.
Sub Chassis Construction
The sub chassis isolates the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth. The floating aluminium chassis sits on decoupling TPE damping balls.
High End Tonearm
The Classic Reference is equipped with our high end precision EVO 9 AS HG tonearm. It uses an inverted cardanic Swiss ABEC 7 quality bearing with 4 stainless steel tips. The bearing sits in a heavyweight aluminium housing, which provides the needed stability. The massive outer ring is open to avoid resonances. For the EVO AS tonearms, we use a special aluminium s-shape tube with the highest internal damping, paired with a SME-type headshell. The inner wiring is made of flexible high-purity copper which is an optimum conductor for the small phono signal.
True Balanced XLR output
The new The Classic Reference offers classic RCA and additional balanced XLR output sockets. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.
