Our most affordable model that preserves the “Air Force” technologies
The Air Force turntables feature unique and refined “air” technologies which include our air bearing that allows the platter to flow on a very thin layer of air. This mechanically isolates the rotating platter and the record from any vibra-tion. Additionally our vacuum hold-down system clamps an...[more]
