Radius 7 stylish turntable fitted with the renowned Roksan NIMA unipivot tonearm and Roksan Corus2 audiophile moving magnet cartridge.
Description
Radius 7 Turntable
A stunning combination of style and technology the Radius 7 Turntable and optional NIMA Tonearm delivers the ultimate contemporary vinyl playing experience that takes an aesthetic appeal, technical performance, and musicality to a new level.
The Radius 7’s 20 mm thick acrylic plinths have a ‘glass-like’ look that is not only visually stunning but contributes to excellent sonic performance.
It uses an advanced motor/PCB assembly with electronic speed selection. The motor and PCB use Roksan’s flagship technology. This very high-quality crystal speed control system maintains pitch-perfect speed stability for both 33 and 45 RPM irrespective of voltage variations. The Radius 7 can be purchased with or without the latest-generation hand-built NIMA tonearm.
“Perhaps more in keeping with a design of this nature, the Roksan has a wonderful sense of flow. It might look delicate but the Radius can pack a hefty punch.”
