Reed Muse 1C Turntable
Reed Muse 1C is our first step into traditional design, middle range turntable market, while keeping our commitment to highest quality and representing our passion for innovations.
Shaped with traditional 70ies design elements in mind, Reed Muse 1C features robust, stable and resonance-free wooden body, however a lot of Muse 1C technologies, including main bearing and drive traction control, are inherited from our flagship Muse 3C. Traditionally, Muse 1C can play 33 and 45 RPM records, however if you have 16 RPM or 78 RPM LPs, you will find these operation modes in Muse 1C as well. For your convenience, 78 RPM speed can be manually adjusted in range of 70-85 RPM. Muse 1C also features electronic inclinometer (electronic level dedicated to measure turntable slope/tilt angle), which allows user to achieve perfect horizontal alignment without using additional tools.
Muse 1C can be fitted with one center or off-center mount tonearm with effective length ranging from 9.5 to 12 inch.
Reviews
Stereophile, Michael Fremer, 2020
That experience drove me to play the test pressing of the D2D Bruckner 7 I’ve previously written about, which should be out by the time this column is published. The Reed 1C/5T combo killed (in the good sense) on this simply miked record, producing airy, smooth violins and violas and giving proper weight to the double basses, rumbling timpani, and, at the end of the first movement, a majestic presentation of the horns—plus a grand sense of the Berlin Philharmonie space…..The 1C plays at accurate and consistent speed. It is quiet and well-isolated from the outside world, and it passes the “tap test” better than many other turntables do.
