Electrocompaniet turntable!

[Vladimir]

Electrocompaniet decided to make a turntable and they will present it for the first time on the Munich High End Show during May 15-18th.

In addition they will present the new phono preamp ECP-2 and an A/V line of separates named EC Living.

We will have photos published in this thread of the new TT as soon as they reveal it.

I spotted this on the Electrocompaniet website a while ago and it really surprised me :O .

I wonder whether it is going to be a completely new design or a rehash of an existing turntable ?

I also wonder whether it will use a version of the Electromechanical cancelation system used in tha EMC1UP Cd player ?

I am very interested in what form Electrocompaniets first turntable will take but it will have to be very good to equal the sound quality available from the EMC1UP Cd player ! 🙂

Hopefully its not an OEM based on Technics, Rega or Pro-Ject. I'm hoping barebone.

I've heard that its simple modular design allows for an infinate number of adjustments to suit the user's taste. Tinkering-fetishists like CJSF who will spend 3/4s of their time adjusting it and 1/4 of their time listening to it will be stuck in a perpetual orgasmic loop. Sneak picture here:

Woah! It eve has the old stereo adapter and everything!

Nice Perhaps best reposted in the Turntable & LP subforum, just a thought. 🙂

The mods can move the thread to the adequate forum, I instinctively posted it here. Sorry.

Doesn't matter really as I usually head to latest posts or the Turntable section first anyway.

Wow that looks quite retro , it's pretty though :O

It even has a detachable headshell !

It looks like it is aimed at the upper budget to midrange turntable market , I would be interested to find out the price !

The acrylic top and platter look delicious and I am fan of the classic J and S arm.

I don't think its going to be too expensive. Looks fairly simple.

Now call me old fashioned or killjoy but that arm looks like a modern day re-worke of the old BSR/ADC that was used on the likes of the Quanta 800 TT. A modern day version of that would be stunning!. Also seems to have elements of the old Acos Lustre. Amazing.

 

[Vladimir]

Tonearm looks a bit Ortofon-ish.

deppending on what you call "expensive" Vladimir.

link to an Norwegian article about the new streaming products and also the new turnable.

http://www.dagbladet.no/2014/05/15/kultur/analog_digital/hi_fi/hi-fi-messen/high_end/33291800/

if you se under the picture of turnable it stands "Electrocompaniets første vinylsnurrer havner i prisklassen 30000 kroner."

basicly it means "Electrocompaniet's first LP-spinner gets in the priceclass of 30000 NOK."

since NOK->GBP is more or less close to 10-1 it like 3000 GBP, or 5000 USD.

but if the 30k is with VAT or not i dont know but guessing it is, and norwegian VAT is 25%

Looks more Jelco to me...

£3000 and a Jelco arm. This is a serious platespiller!

Yep, I thought that too, and 10 or very possibly 12" version.

 

[floyd droid]

Yup looks like a Jelly to me too. So this deck , just another Rega with a few gold buttons to play with

Very shiny, I just hope they throw in an acrylic lid or it's just another big dust-magnet. 🙂

 

[nopiano]

It does look rather wonderful though, and very much in line with their lovely amps when it comes to styling.

I hope it sounds even half as good as it looks!

So do I in a funny sort of way. Like those gold buttons with same layout as their other kit. I wonder what they do. (You only need on/off and speed change, so how come 4 buttons. Is one a dummy???

I guess they have one is for stop and the other for go.

Cannot see any hinges for a lid so it's scratch this one in my opinion.

When are TT manufacturers going to learn that although it may look very pretty it still needs a cover..... :twisted:

Plastic brown cover and fixed RCA and power cables made from zipcord.
