Weighing 1.8 Kg, the rubato will require that most suspended subchassis turntable designs are readjusted to provide a level platform. The additional mass does increase the kinetic energy stored by the platter while affording very effective damping of the unwanted resonance that many alloy platters can contribute to the sound of vinyl replay. The copper also provides a more appropriate impedance match allowing energy imparted into the vinyl by the stylus to be dissipated harmlessly. The rubato also makes a fine partner for the platters of powerful, high quality, direct drive turntables and has been shaped to fit the SP10 Mk2 perfectly. Place a Bid!
