New motor suspension
A good motor by itself, is already very quiet. To get the best performance out of it, we have improved the motor suspension. The X2‘s motor chassis is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision tuned TPE belt - this way the motor chassis is effectively decoupled from the main plinth for optimal performance.
9'' Carbon-Aluminium Tonearm
Compared with its little brother the X1, the tonearm is longer - 9“ in length - and the tube has a wider diameter. The carbon/aluminium sandwhich construction results in better internal damping. The increased mass makes the tonearm an excellent fit for low compliance MC cartridges.
Metal Feet
Damped & height adjustable
The three height adjustable damped aluminium feet guarantee the perfect stand & massively reduce risk of acoustical feedback.
The Tonearm
9'' Carbon-Aluminium Tonearm
Finished as a one-piece, with no resonance-inducing headshell, the X2 can also be set for azimuth and VTA adjustment. The tonearm is then supplied with a TPE-damped counterweight.
Phono Cable
Semi-balanced RCA cable
To guarantee a perfect connection to your amp you will find a high-quality phono RCA cable in the box. Our Connect it E is a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable, with superior shielding.

Reviews
“The X2 B feels truly revolutionary“
UK, 03.2023
• Go for fully balanced operation all the way from stylus to preamp, and something magical happens.
“More detailed and expressive, with a more emotional presentation”
RU., 10.2020
• The presentation is clear, light, detailed, and transparent, but at the same time large.
• There is a correct sense of rhythm. There is an attention to detail and intonation. You can hear an instrument‘s character, sound and recording well. You can focus on nuances.
• The sound is very detailed with volume and air. Sheer scale explodes confidently into the room – brightly, expressively, cheerfully.
• The bass turned out to be large but even slightly softened, enveloping, and textured.
• The mid-tones are rich with no sense of stiffness.
• Treble is differentiated, bright, but not harsh or fatiguing.
• The general mood is sparkling, perky, joyful.
• Bass turned out to be surprisingly tight.
“The big X1… is something else”
Greece, 02.2021
• What will please you from the first moment is the sound.
• The X2 is quiet and provides a solid base for both the record and the tonearm / cartridge system. It accurately reads the groove and “brings out” a very attractive stereo image, with good width and many details, which is clearly defined, stable and with good depth.
• The sense of stability that the X2 has, wins you over.
• What I heard was a combination of good range and very good low control.
• It sounds fast, rich and controlled, which gives a sense of flow to the rhythm and creates a very pleasant soundstage.
• In the mids, it has good resolution, bright and relaxed presence with very good detail retrieval. Soloists, choirs, large groups of strings and wind instruments are effortlessly reproduced, of course, with a strong presence.
• there was a good sense of extention, and the sound was pleasantly bright and relaxing, with good transient speed (thus rendering good microdynamics) and a slightly darker character, which emphasized presence and ensured that the set never sounded harsh or hard.
