Description
PLINTH
The C-Major draws its design inspiration from the larger C-Sharp model. As a result, the base layer is made of the same stable MDF, finished to a high standard, which houses the turntable’s motor system in a slightly smaller chassis. Mounted within the base is an MDF/Carbon Fibre sandwich chassis that carries the tonearm and bears the weight of the high-mass platter. This sub-chassis layer is decoupled from the base by TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) cones, for ultimate decoupling of the playback platform from the motor system.
For protection when not in use, the C-Major is also supplied with a removable dust cover as standard.
PLATTER
Like the C-Sharp, the C-Major makes use of a vinyl-topped aluminium platter, finished with a high-quality record clamp. Despite its smaller size in comparison to the C-Sharp, this assembly still delivers excellent technical performance and rock-solid rotational reliability.
TONEARM
The turntable has been fitted with E.A.Ts technically sophisticated 9-inch C-Note tonearm. The C-Note incorporates both aluminium and carbon fibre into its Unpivot design for increased rigidity along with dexterity, ensuring playback is smooth and any unwanted motor vibrations are not transported through to the cartridge.
The construction of carbon-fibre and aluminium used in the C-Note tonearm combines perfectly with the C-Major’s own mix of carbon fibre and aluminium, providing not only improved anti-resonance properties, but a striking visual appeal.
CARTRIDGE
The C-Major is supplied with the award-winning Ortofon Quintet Blue moving coil cartridge pre-installed. The Quintet Blue is well known for its smooth reproduction, and excellent rhythmic timing that would work wonderfully with a wide array of music.
The impressive dynamic performance of the Quintet Blue adds further enhancement to the already rich and detailed reproduction of the turntable.
