GROOVEMASTER VINTAGE DIRECT PBN-DP8

This is the “Master Class” model, the unchallenged flagship of PBN’s unique line. Based on the Denon DP80, the PBN-DP8 boasts a motor that is larger, more powerful and more advanced than is used in any other turntable. With over-all heftier specs and a larger, dual-layer platter, it gives outstanding stability and unparalleled performance. The many advanced features and masterful design ensure that the sound you hear is pure, effortless, and expressive of every nuance and aural gesture. If you’re looking for the best, you’ve found it. Each plinth is custom-built to your preference.

• 99.998% Accurate Speed; Phase Controlled by Quartz Oscillation: The rotating speed is highly stabilized by a timing clock based on a quartz crystal oscillation which is very stable against changes of temperature or time. By the use of Phase-locked loop method, the speed is hardly affected by load or supply voltage fluctuation.
• DC Electrical Brake for Smoother Operation: Up-speeding servo function and a DC electrical brake are commanded in accordance with the speed detection data. The result is smoother operation in speed changeover, in starting or in stopping as well as during play.
• Magnetic Recording for Speed Detection: Denon established its original motor control system using magnetic recording method for speed and phase detection. 1000 pulses recorded with a high accuracy allow a high detecting frequency to expel phase lagging of the servo system accordingly over-shoot, wow and flutter therein.
• Improved S/N, Wow and Flutter Performance by an AC Motor: With the introduction of pulse width modulation for motor regulation, a cleaner driving current can be applied to the motor. This improves S/N, wow and flutter performance. This method has also reduced power consumption
