G 2000 R
by T+A
The vinyl record, despite facing decline in the 1990s with the rise of the CD, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and even growth due to its distinct, warm sound quality that CDs often can't replicate. Understanding the unique appeal of vinyl, further development was made on the old R-series G 1260 R turntable to enhance its performance and aesthetics. This evolution has led to the introduction of the G 2000 R in the new R-series, designed to deliver superior analog sound through extensive innovations aimed at reducing external mechanical and electrical disturbances.
Key advancements in the G 2000 R include a meticulously designed drive motor that ensures smooth operation free from inconsistencies. Additionally, the entire system is engineered to be highly damped, effectively minimizing structural noise, resonance, and vibrations, ensuring that the sound produced is crystal clear, dynamic, and powerful.
The G 2000 R is available in various configurations to cater to different user preferences. A notable option is the integration of the PHE-G R MC phono pre-amplifier directly within the turntable chassis, optimizing sound quality. The turntable also features a high-end Carbon tonearm from Clearaudio, paired with an exceptional MC cartridge for unparalleled sound fidelity. For those with specific needs, the G 2000 R can also be purchased without the tonearm or cartridge, allowing for a more customized setup.
