Key Features Of The Burmester 175 Turntable
Platter Construction: The platter features a sandwich design with two layers of aluminum and a central layer of brass, providing optimal damping and reduced resonance. A bitumen coating on the underside further enhances its damping properties.
Drive System: The 175 employs four AC synchronous motors arranged symmetrically around the sub-platter. This configuration ensures balanced tension on the central bearing, leading to improved synchronization and rapid start-up times. The motors are controlled by digital electronics with a high-precision oscillator, rendering them immune to mains voltage frequency fluctuations.
Tonearm: A 9-inch, cardanically mounted tonearm with a carbon-aluminum tube is included. It features a hybrid bearing system combining steel and ceramic components, ensuring precise tracking of vinyl records. The anti-skating mechanism is adjustable via a control knob.
Phono Preamplifier: Derived from Burmester’s renowned 100 phono preamplifier, the integrated phono stage amplifies the delicate signals from the cartridge over a minimal signal path, preserving audio fidelity.
Design and Build: The 175’s design pays homage to Burmester’s Reference Line, featuring characteristic elements such as a substantial chassis and a magnetically damped base plate for isolation. The turntable’s total weight is approximately 60.8 kg (134 lbs), underscoring its robust construction.
