The Signature 12.2 replaces our long-standing Signature 12 flagship, and improves on the turntable in almost every way. The most recognisable continuation from the last model is the flywheel motor system and the platter; however, the tonearm, chassis and feet have all been reimagined to improve the performance and the aesthetic further.
The Signature 12.2 represents the highest level of turntable technology with exclusive materials and a luxury finish. Handmade by the factory's best trained people, all metal parts are hand-polished and the model features around 100 different in-house CNC'd parts. It takes around two days of hand polishing and precision mounting of the components to make the turntable, as each part also goes through a 4-step QC process (mechanical test, electrical test, running test and listening test).
This is a true reference product!
With several remarkable improvements over the original model, the Signature 12.2 is sure to impress with both its bold aesthetics and attention-demanding quality of playback.

-
NEW 3-point pivot tonearm bearing construction
