The E.A.T. Forte turntable is designed with a combination of a separate sub chassis and a mass-loaded turntable chassis filled with metal sand for heavy anti-resonance properties. It features magnetic feet that act as a sub chassis to support and decouple the table from vibrations. The platter is a two-part construction using different alloys to reduce energy flow, weighs over 20 kg, and has a diameter of 400 mm, larger than typical platters. It incorporates neodymium magnets and sorbothane damping to minimize resonance. The motor is a stand-alone, decoupled AC unit with a dual motor design to reduce noise and provide perfect torque. The turntable offers electronic speed change between 33.33 and 45.11 RPM with very low speed variance and wow and flutter. It consumes 2W of power and uses an outboard power supply. Dimensions are 700x250x440 mm and it weighs 65 kg. The Forte is highly regarded for its build quality, resonance control, and playback stability, making it a flagship model for serious vinyl enthusiasts.
