Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core — developed for the aerospace industry — sandwiched between two layers of HPL. The result is a skeletal plinth 30% lighter than the original RP10 with increased rigidity.

“Mass absorbs energy — lost energy equals lost music.” A ceramic top brace and phenolic resin bottom brace form a stressed-beam assembly between the tonearm mount and main hub bearing, eliminating resonances and energy absorption.

Preloaded zero-tolerance bearing assembly adjusted to less than 1/1000th of a mm. No adhesive used anywhere in construction. Hand-polished aluminium arm tube redesigned to redistribute mass and reduce bearing stress. Reads groove ridges of less than one micron.

Single-piece machined aluminium sub-platter and hardened tool steel spindle running inside a custom brass housing. Cleverly mounted within the chassis to eradicate unwanted energy transfer into the plinth.

Bottom-mounted synchronous motor (technique from the Naiad) removes all stress from the motor body. Each motor is hand-tuned to its custom PL10 PSU. EBLT belts use a bespoke rubber compound and F1-inspired precision tooling for perfect roundness and speed stability.

DSP generator built on a high-stability crystal divides an accurate square wave to the exact frequency required. Generates a near-perfect sinusoidal waveform to power the motor. Factory-set vibration removal and fine speed adjustment tuned per motor unit.
