ORBE
Orbe has 2 levels of isolation, a massive 60mm thick vibration
damping platter and the most sophisticated power supply and motor
configuration. The solid aluminium feet of the turntable are shaped so the area
in contact with the supporting surface is very small, this is done to minimise
the transfer of vibrations from the supporting furniture into the turntable.
The motor unit used to drive the turntable is completely separate to the
turntable, meaning it doesn’t touch the turntable in anyway. The only
connection between the motor and the turntable is the drive belt that drives
the platter. This stops any noise or vibrations created when the motor is
running, getting through to the sensitive parts of the turntable.
