"…With its black, black backgrounds, ultra-low bearing noise, superb isolation, precise speed accuracy, and rock-solid speed stability, the 20/12 offers everything one could desire in a reference turntable system." – The Absolute Sound's 2007 Golden Ear Awards, Jim Hannon, The Absolute Sound, August 2007

This monster's construction starts by stretching an SME 20/2 in width and depth. Next, add a thicker top plate, a heavier platter and a newly tuned suspension. Finally, include the 312 S tonearm, which is the true centerpiece of this new rig. Constructed of magnesium, this engineering marvel results in a tonearm of significantly lower mass than other 12-inch arms while retaining structural rigidity. The 12" effective length reduces tracking error and distortion, bringing you ever closer to the truth of the music.
