{"product_id":"reed-muse-3c-turntable","title":"Reed Muse 3C Turntable","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter more than three years idea-crunching and countless man hours of CADing, prototyping, programming and real-life testing, we built our first commercially available turntable – Reed Muse 3C. Is it somehow unique? Well, yes! Whether you are fan of friction-driven turntables (the famous Garrard is made that way), or if you think that the right way to build turntables is to use a pair of motors and a belt, Reed Muse 3C should catch your eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its unique and innovative design, you can convert friction-driven turntable to a belt-driven machine in 5 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is inside of our turntable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter extensive prototyping and long-term experiments we came up to a solution of using a reverse sliding thrust ball bearing for a main axis. Bearing ball is made either from steel or ceramics and the lateral stability is achieved by using very durable and low-noise polymer sliding bearing. Symmetrical drive system is designed to avoid radial bearing load, hence minimizing possible mechanical noise and ensuring longevity of a master bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuse 3C is powered by two direct current motors and by design is friction-driven, however its major innovation is possibility to convert it to a belt-driven system in minutes by replacing traction rollers and putting on a belt (and, of course, setting a switch to a correct position). To prevent possible mechanical vibration, we use traction rollers (be it friction or belt) of different diameters, spinning at different velocities and having mathematically non-multiple diameters to driving disc diameter. Disc velocity is stabilized by quartz-based phase locked loop (PLL) system, so average speed deviation depends solely on the parameters of quartz crystal. Turntable drive is equipped with both mechanical and electronic protection systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurntable 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurntable can be equipped with one or two tonearms with effective length ranging from 9.5” to 12”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHi-Fi+, Alan Sircom, 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s possibly the first thing anyone is going to get from the Muse 3C’s performance; stability. Not simply pitch stability (although it’s remarkably precise) but that absence of even a hint ‘watery’ piano notes that the Reed deck plays so well, gives the piano in particular a sense of solidity and physicality that is so well appreciated and so hard to find through vinyl replay at times…. The Reed goes for a cleaner, more precise sound without undermining the harmonic structure of the music in the process….
