About the B-Sharp
The EAT B-Sharp turntable is designed to deliver exceptional sound quality at an affordable price. It includes a 9-inch B-Note tonearm made from a carbon fiber alloy, which is both light and rigid, with a black anodized aluminum headshell. The tonearm offers adjustments for VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), SRA (Stylus Rake Angle), VTF (Vertical Tracking Force), azimuth, and overhang/offset angle, along with an intuitive anti-skate mechanism. The turntable is equipped with a proprietary low noise motor, a floating chassis, an aluminum platter, and a high-density MDF base. It also features a TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) suspension system for improved stability. The package includes a factory-installed Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, a hinged dustcover, a low mass aluminum record clamp (in some regions), and a felt platter mat.
