A Magnificent Sansui SR717 Direct Drive Electronic Transcription Turntable

This beauty is now in our cabinet makers workshop to have the two pieces of veneer replaced on the front

Sansui has engineered this direct drive transcription turntable with particular attention to three key qualities; precision, stability and durability.

When it comes to performance, vibrations you can’t hear can, indeed, be extremely harmful to faithful reproduction of musical timbre and nuances.

The Sansui SR-717 protects you from all motor vibration by driving the high inertia platter directly with a DC servomotor with it’s own solid-state electronic control system.

The S-shaped tonearm with friction-free Sansui support reduces all tracing distortion.

And the no-howl cabinet does away with resonance.

Sansui uses super-hardened steel alloy and other advanced materials throughout to ensure impressive performance over long use.

When you listen to the SR717, all you will hear is what is on the record, not under it.
