E.A.T Forte Turntable
The Forte from E.A.T. can best be described as a massive machine that will help you get the best out of your vinyl. Utilising a combination of both mass-loaded principles along with an isolated sub chassis, the E.A.T. Forte is a true feat in both design and performance.
- Luxury build quality with extensive mass-loading principles incorporated throughout
- Sizeable alloy platter featuring magnetic decoupling and vinyl top-plate
- Stand-alone decoupled dual drive system delivering clean current
- Various colour-ways with superior finishing for a deluxe appearance
- Magnetic feet that assist with decoupling the turntable from the surface beneath
- Fitted with EAT's F-Note 12" Aluminium Tonearm
PLINTH
The plinth for the Forte has been designed in two parts, the first being a massive mass-loaded base intended to support the platter and tonearm, this part of the plinth uses metal sand pellets to add further weight and anti-resonance properties to the turntable. The second part of the plinth consists of a stand-alone decoupled AC unit that operates the turntables' dual drive system, delivering both clean currents and speed stability.
Both components of the Forte’s chassis are fitted with large magnetic feet containing their own stabilisation system, that decouples the turntable from the surface beneath and any vibrations given off from the motor.
PLATTER
The platter once again adopts the high-mass principle used in the chassis and is composed of two separate parts. The platters base is made using two different alloys, used to help reduce energy flow. The base of the platter spans 400mm in diameter, and has magnets integrated into the alloy to assist in decoupling the platter from the plinth, reducing strain on the bearings during playback, ensuring speed is consistent.
On top of the alloy section of the platter sits a layer of vinyl that has been melted on top, to provide a smooth, stable surface on which to place your records on top of. E.A.T. also employ Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) damping in the base of the platter which assists in reducing any variances and improves the tolerances of the turntable.
TONEARM
The Forte is available with a wide choice of tonearm options, including the flagship E.A.T. F-Note. When installed with an F-Note, the performance is exceptional and truly worthy of the turntable's high-end status. To discuss your tonearm options, please use the contact form below.
