Harman Kardon T60

Floating Suspension Auto-Lift Turntable with Low Mass Tonearm

Description

In the Harman Kardon T60, a quartz-lock motor, sensitive to absolute speed rather than rotational deviation, utilizes a quartz tuning element to "sense" 45 and 33rpm to automatically maintain constant speed.

No fine tuning is ever necessary, but if you want to adjust speed manually, you can.

The platter is more massive still than that of the T40 - with the disc stabilizer for tracking accuracy and high density rubber platter mat for vibration damping.

Under the platter, we've put a rubber ring for even further acoustical damping.

An optically sensed auto-lift tonearm is incorporated, eliminating the return mechanism entirely. This minimizes unwanted tonearm and cartridge vibration.

At the tonearm base is a high mass, die-cast aluminium support structure which houses the minimum-friction
microrace bearings.

A sophisticated and unique 3-point floating suspension system is employed in the T60. It is precisely counterbalanced with a weight opposite the tonearm assembly to center the moving mass at the platter spindle.

Gold connector plugs at each end of a detachable ultra-low capacitance cable, for better conductance are standard.

Belt drive, quartz-locked motor with pitch control
