Currently top of our range during our launch, the KT-200 is a turntable focusing on high quality, British hand built and performance excellence in mind.
The KT-200 is the first turntable you will see our larger format plinth, which is available in either satin Walnut or high gloss Makassar. Along with that it also steps up with upgraded machined parts such as the 18mm bearing housing with white ceramic ball bearing (compared to 12mm/steel ball on all other models prior), an anodised aluminium sub-platter which has been clocked for high accuracy and finally the 18mm acrylic platter adding greater mass which not only helps with speed stability but also sound quality. These upgrades add a higher quality aesthetic to the turntable giving you an exceptionally high quality product all round which we supply with confidence by doing majority of the machining ourselves or when not possible we use carefully chosen specialists all within the United Kingdom. As with all our turntables the A5 carbon tonearm has VTA adjustment, as well as the lift lower adjustment design allowing the user to customise their cartridge as they see fit and adjustments to set up if they so wish.
Our KT-200 since release has been reviewed in Hi-Fi Choice July/August 2023, which achieved a fantastic rating of 5 stars along with a very positive array of feedback. Download and read below. – Update our KT-200 was also featured in Hifi Choice end of 2023 issue as part of the ‘Turntables of the Year’ segment and was highly praised once again.
We are extremely proud of this product and, as the review supports, it is a truly performance strong turntable with overwhelmingly good musicality and provides a stunning classical aesthetic with high standard build quality.
Looking ahead at the start of 2024, we were able to integrate electronic speed change into our small format KT-50 and KT-100 turntables to suit those customers and the price point. However, we think that the KT-200 could be such a superior record player with a step up from just speed change but also fine speed adjustment as well. This is something we are working towards releasing in the summer of 2024 and we will keep you posted once this option is available – it will have an additional option charge. For those of you who may want to have an external speed controller, check out our KSPEED-1 now available – a game changer for anyone at this level.
PLEASE NOTE the KT-200 does not come fitted with a cartridge, however Zephyr C50 and C100 cartridges may be available upon request at an extra cost.
Stainless steel counterweight, clear acrylic Z-type dust cover, set up accessories, plug top PSU and starter phono leads are included.
