MAG-LEV Audio - ML1

The ML-1 is unlike other turntables in that it is designed with a levitating platter to play records in an elevated position. Because there are no moving parts inside the turntable and no motors spinning the platter, this minimizes vibrations and creates a truly one-of-a-kind listening experience. The ML1 combines 1970s and 1980s inspiration with modern, raw design to create a truly retro-futuristic look. it is quiet and astonishingly open and life-like. ML1 as delivered: Signal to noise ratio -73dB! Way better than your turntable? Why? It has no motor! HOW IT WORKS It uses magnetic coil drive and that is as quiet as the Milky Way’s Black Hole.(Footnote 1.) Wow and than .17%. Weight is all in! Four sensors, two magnetic and two optical to maintain precise speed and stability. The ML1 is delivered beautifully packaged and pristine, with all tools and cables to perform like a breakthrough and super cool turntable should sound. Delivered with a carbon fiber super-adjustable Project 9cc Tonearm with anti-skate, it adjusts in every tangent and is just the right mass for the ML1. It comes fitted with the fun and capable Ortofon OM10 MM Cartridge. Interconnects with ground wire and a competent power cord are included . The position of the RCA connectors are accessibly exposed for easy swapping, as is the ground wire. The arm is one of the few low mass, high compliance arms made today; as a result, MM or MI cartridges are best suited for this tonearm. This setup allows you to connect through phono in. Once you’re done, you just have to pick your favorite record, turn the turntable on, move the tone arm into position and lower the cueing lever. Then sit back, relax and enjoy. Conveniently, the arm rest has built-in sensors which automatically stop the platter and, once again, raise the support beams. Similarly, should a power loss or blackout occur, the system has enough reserve energy to perform an emergency stopping of the platter and support beam raising exercise.
