Nothing says ‘serious’ like a satin-black finished turntable weighing in at 27kg, and in the case of European Audio Team’s F-Dur, this heft is thanks to a substantial platter crafted from solid aluminium and TPE-damped to absorb resonances. Also addressing weak points that can impair vinyl playback are the deck’s dual AC motor design and improved belts to minimise wow and flutter, and massive MDF plinth with adjustable feet. The 12in F-Note aluminium tonearm, in silver or matt black finish, is also easily adjustable, integrating a laser level for setup. Best of all, the F-Dur matches its premium engineering with a heartfelt performance that brings you closer to your favourite tracks on your treasured vinyl.
