Designed to bring out the absolute best in your vinyl collection, the Dragon will transport you to the studio where the music was recorded. Every single detail of this high-end turntable has been engineered with superior technologies and beautiful custom features to create an excellent sound stage, engaging dynamics and pure audio playback that draws you in with each listen.
To capture even the most subtle nuances of the recording and ensure you hear every note, the Dragon's high-torque AC synchronous motor is housed in a mechanically separate enclosure. This, combined with integrated motor electronics and a unique triple-belt drive system, keeps motor vibrations from entering the audio signal, so all that you hear is the record.
