The J.C. Verdier La Platine Verdier is a legendary French turntable originally designed by Jean Constant Verdier in the 1980s, featuring innovative magnetic levitation bearing to minimize friction, a high-mass platter mimicking cutting lathe mass, external DC motor with string or belt drive, and pneumatic suspension feet for decoupling. It supports up to two tonearms, 33/45 RPM speeds (adjustable), and remains a reference design. After Verdier's passing in 2014, Audio Tuning (Pro-Ject) acquired the brand in 2024-2025, resuming production of original designs with technical drawings from his son, shipping from Q1 2025 while staying true to the classic specs.
