Takumi TT level 2.1 DC Turntable

HiFi News Outstanding Product HiFi News Review: Click Here Takumi is the brainchild of Dutch electrical engineer Rik Stoet. He started building tube amplifiers from 1993 before turning his focus toward turntables. His first Takumi made use of a few third-party components. It was a smart, straightforward design — simple in form, but with impressive sound quality. The limited run of one hundred units quickly sold out in the Netherlands, providing Rik with the encouragement to pursue and refine his vision to make the ideal vinyl replay systems, which outperformed rivals in sound, operation and looks while remaining reasonably priced. CRAFTSMANSHIP AND PASSION If you purchase a Takumi, you purchase perfection. You purchase the result of craftmanship and passion, and you can breathlessly enjoy your favourite music, played on an elegant-looking machine with a devine sound. Vinyl has made a comeback. this also means that there are more and more turntables in circulation. More models are presented on the market, but do they also give you that warm feeling that you are looking for? Both technically and optically, you only want the best of the best. That is possible with the Takumi TT level 2.1DC, a turntable that out performs much more expensive players with ease. So, what are you waiting for? SpeedPod You control the speed with the SpeedPod , a small external unit. It switches between 33.33 and 45 RPM, and lets you make fine adjustments in 0.01 RPM steps — helpful for older records or tuning by ear. Designed to integrate seamlessly, the SpeedPod fits precisely under the Takumi chassis.
