Onkyo CP-1050 Wood turntable

Onkyo has gone back to the roots of analog audio reproduction. As you know, in the 70s, direct-drive turntables began to rule the ball. This era can rightly be considered the golden age of production and "consumption" of players with such transport. At that time, the rotation of the platter without a belt was considered an innovation. In turntables (some models of the time), sometimes the belt (roller) transmitted high-frequency noise (or rumble), which was inherent in the imperfection of the electric motor (fast rotation transmission) or the budgeted limitation of the design and decoupling of the motor from the table.

In Onkyo CP-1050, everything is in order in this case. It has a modern engine with a smooth running of rotation. By the way, the advantage of such a drive is a low level of parasitic noise, which further penetrates into the stereo system. At this budget, the CP-1050 sets the standard for vinyl reproduction, combining performance, ergonomics and durability. The transport is equipped with a special brake mechanism that ensures smooth rotation and quick stop of the platter. The tonearm makes it easy to change cartridges. After all, they are installed on a removable shell. Choose your taste (sound)!

We want to give advice and suggest a significant upgrade in record playback. The Onkyo CP-1050 player responds well to the upgrade. Purchase a Tonar SME-Type Lightweight Headshell Black (art. 3197) and install the best-in-class Tonar 3600 E-Flip cartridge (art. 9513) on it. Replace stock GZS with Tonar 3600 E-Flip. Plus, use a heavy clamp - Tonar Record Weiht 760 gr vinyl clamp. (art. 4611) when playing.

Noticeable improvements in sound guaranteed!
