The Palmer Audio 2.5i is a premium turntable designed to deliver exceptional sound quality. It features a massive 21-pound aluminum-alloy platter, which is balanced by a rigid, multi-ply birch plinth. The turntable uses a low-torque AC motor, requiring manual start-up by pushing the platter. It is often paired with the Audio Origami PU7 tonearm, which complements its performance with a 'velvety midband' and 'black backgrounds.' The Palmer 2.5i is available in different finishes, including Baltic Birch and Cherry. It is praised for its 'serenity and smooth musical flow' and is suitable for use with a variety of cartridges, especially those on the lean side of neutral.
