Pro-Ject Signature turntable





€9500

• Mass-loaded subchassis design
• Magnetically decoupled main platter
• Resonance-optimised alloy
• Inverted main bearing with ceramic ball
• Flywheel belt drive
• Motor control system with LCD display
• Single-pivot tonearm
• High gloss metal surface
• Piano-lacquer chassis with magnetic decoupling

Signature is a non-compromise highend turntable that celebrates “20-years of Pro-Ject Audio Systems”. A highly sophisticated concept combines the mass-loaded principle with subchassis. Magnetic feet decouple the chassis from surface, “Sorbothanepillows” and a magnetic-floating platter guarantees an absolute quiet running turntable. A “flywheel” belt drive system ensures vibration-free running. The new single-pivot tonearm is a genuine Pro-Ject design. With its wide range of adjustment possibilities and the choice of adequate counterweights, nearly all cartridges can be mounted.

With his family’s precision engineering and machining background, Christoph began his own journey of finding the best sound by building his own analog equipment. In 1999, Rossner and Sohn released their first commercial turntable. The latest special custom-made turntable is called “The Mott” (The Mother of Turntable). The rotating platter itself weighs 232 kg, and the combined unit weighs over 325 kg. Two versions of "The Mott" are available, one with oil bearing and manual adjustment (48,000€), and the full version with automatic pneumatic adjustment and air bearing (135,000€) In 2008, Rossner and Sohn won the Image Hi Fi Award for the Si 1.2 tonearm.

BBC 6 Music to play only vinyl on New Year's Day

26 Dec 2011
Here's a good bit of news for turntable enthusiasts: BBC Radio 6 Music has announced it will be playing only vinyl on New Year's Day.
Most BBC stations phased out vinyl in favour of CDs in the 1990s and the majority now use digital versions of songs.
According to the Beeb website, presenters Jarvis Cocker and Guy Garvey will be among those dusting off their turntables and Don Letts will be bringing his own seven-inch singles.
The "All Vinyl" day rounds off a month-long celebration of vinyl.
Station editor Paul Rodgers says: "In a world dominated by digital music, vinyl is a format still close to the hearts of many music lovers and increased sales demonstrate its enduring appeal."
A spokeswoman for the station adds: "Listeners can expect rare gems, insights and a few crackles and pops when digital goes analogue for one day only."
Singer-songwriter Richard Hawley will host a show talking to prominent acts such as Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead about the joys and the pitfalls of vinyl.
Dance DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall and singer Cerys Matthews will also be joining the vinylfest in their shows.

Lyra Atlas







$9500

Introducing the ATLAS, the world's first asymmetric MC phono cartridge.

The Atlas is Lyra's new flagship. It is also the first time that anyone has made an asymmetrically structured phono cartridge. Why asymmetric? Because, by literally misplacing the barriers to great sound that are present in every other cartridge today, it confers a number of important performance benefits.

First, having differently-shaped structures on the left and right sides suppresses the formation of standing waves inside the cartridge body, thereby creating a less resonant, more neutral cartridge body. Second, the asymmetric construction offsets the front magnet carrier and its associated mounting system so that it is no longer in line with the cantilever assembly. Doing so opens up a direct, solid path between the cantilever assembly and tonearm headshell so that vibrations from the cantilever can be quickly drained away once they have been converted into electrical signals, again suppressing resonances.

Lyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever assembly directly into the cartridge body and thereby achieve a seamless, totally rigid connection between cantilever assembly and headshell. The effectiveness of this system has been increased with the asymmetrical structure of the Atlas. Control over spurious resonances is further assisted by the use of a narrowed mounting area, which couples the Atlas more tightly to the headshell and facilitates the transfer of vibrational energy into the tonearm.

While the Atlas retains the yokeless dual magnet system, diamond-coated boron rod cantilever and variable-radius line-contact stylus of the Titan, the double knife-edge cantilever assembly mounting structure has been revised for greater rigidity, and the signal coil system is completely new. Rather than a square, the coil former is in the shape of an X, which allows each channel to operate with greater independence from the other. This gives better tracking, tighter channel matching, improved separation, and lower distortion due to crosstalk.

At the same time we were able to increase both the performance and efficiency of the generator coils. The Atlas has 12% higher output voltage than the Titan, but accomplishes this while reducing the amount of wire in the coils by 22%. The mass reduction further improves tracking performance, while the enhanced output and electrical characteristics allow phono stages to perform better.

The Atlas uses Lyra's "New Angle" technology, which mechanically pre-biases the signal coils so that they are perfectly aligned to the front and rear magnets when LP playback takes place. This equalizes out discrepancies in vertical and horizontal compliances, and enables the Atlas' coils to move with equal ease in all directions for optimal performance.

As with the Titan and Olympos, the Atlas uses a body that is meticulously carved from a solid billet of titanium, through a process that involves both contact (for the exterior) and non-contact machining (for the interior body structures). But by making most of the Atlas' body surfaces non-parallel, avoiding dimensions that are multiples of other dimensions, and adding a pre-stressed phase-interference resonance-controlling system, resonances have been inhibited further.

We firmly believe that the Atlas represents an important step forward in LP playback.
