Description from the seller

Bought new; invoice and original packaging available. Very lightly used. 100th Anniversary Series

The DP-A100's cabinet is made from natural wood veneer coated with a lacquer-like finish inspired by Japanese lacquerware, giving it a rich, glossy appearance.

The DL-103 was launched for the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) in 1964 and remained the reference cartridge for 50 years. The included DL-A100 is a reproduction of the DL-103 technical reference model.

The die-cast aluminum platter measures 331 mm in diameter. Silicone rubber covers the entire underside to dampen vibrations and absorb unwanted resonance.

The turntable features a quartz-locked servo system that controls rotational speed by detecting the intervals between optical pulses from a slot in the motor. This provides stable control with reduced wow and flutter, as well as highly precise rotation with minimal eccentricity.

The tonearm is mounted on a large die-cast aluminum base with a height adjustment range of 6 mm, ensuring smooth, precise tracking. The combination of the tonearm and a lathe-machined aluminum headshell suppresses unwanted resonances that could affect sound quality, while making the most of the cartridge's characteristics.

Specifications:

Drive system: servo direct drive

Speeds: 33 and 45 rpm

Wow and flutter: less than 0.1% WRMS

Effective length: 244 mm

Overhang: 14 mm

Cartridge weight range: 4 to 10 g

Dimensions: 490 x 405 x 213 mm

Weight: 15.7 kg
