Just when you thought turntables couldnt get any better, along comes the Swiss made Thales TTT battery drive turntable with their unique pivoted parallel tracking tonearm (Simplicity) to redefine the "State of the Art" in performance for analogue replay. What is so surprising about this turntable is how small and compact it is, it's only the depth of a record (12 inches). This turntable has just won Stereo Sounds Grand Prix award, which is Japans highest audio award.
The Simplicity tonearm is a pivoted parallel tracking tonearm which has an tracking error of +/- 0.008 degrees right across the record. This enables perfect tracking over the entire surface of the record but without all the inherent problems associated with normal parallel tracking designs.
