Stein Music writes. “Introducing the Steinmusic Arco 40 Limited Edition turntable.
Celebrate 40 years of SteinMusic with this exclusive masterpiece. Featuring a unique tonearm crafted from a violin bow, it’s limited to just 20 pieces worldwide.
The SteinMusic Arco 40 Anniversary Turntable was created to let you enjoy music in its purest form. Every detail has been carefully designed to eliminate interference and deliver unparalleled sonic precision and natural musicality. This masterpiece combines over 40 years of expertise in high-end HiFi development.
The platter, crafted from an innovative wood-metal sandwich with elegant cherry wood veneers, provides exceptional resonance control. Paired with the precise and smooth-running double bearing, it ensures impressive rotational stability, allowing even the finest details to come alive.
Another standout feature is the 10″ tonearm, made from a part of a violin bow. This unique material choice surpasses carbon and wood variants, enabling unmatched tonal accuracy. The handmade copper tonearm cable, crafted from over 50-year-old copper and free of sound-altering plastic insulation, ensures a pure and uncolored signal transmission.
The turntable is powered by a Swiss precision motor from Maxon. A specially developed controller, in combination with an ultra-thin, waxed, and silver-plated nylon belt, ensures absolute speed consistency and gentle power transmission.
The result is a listening experience that impresses with its naturalness, accuracy, and precision – timeless, exclusive, and limited to just 20 pieces
