Talk Electronics Edwards Audio TT1SE turntable

The Edwards Audio TT1SE Mk2 turntable includes the Edwards Audio EA202 tonearm, an all new in-house designed 18mm plinth which is finished in a high Gloss piano finish and is available in Black, White and Red.  We like to supply it with the new TALK Zephyr C100 MM cartridge and that is how it is priced, but if you want an upgrade the TALK Zephyr C200 or Hana SH or SL cartridges are available and will improve performance.  Or if you have your own cartridge, ask us for the turntable price without and we will also fit your cartridge for you free of charge.

The TT1 Mk2 features a smart Medite high quality water resistant plinth which has a hand polished Gloss lacquer finish. The finish is not only cosmetic, it adds significant rigidity to the plinth and prevents twisting or unwanted movement and damping resonances.  This has significant performance advantages, sound wise.

The 230V/115V AC motor is mounted via a vibration resistant pad (Speeds: 33.3 & 45rpm). The inner platter turns on a custom made ceramic 5mm bearing which runs in a specially produced light synthetic machine oil designed for Formula 1 applications. This is all topped off with the 18 mm custom in house fully machined Acrylic platter driven by our own custom made ‘Little Belter’ Blue belt and supported on 3 isolation feet designed to compliment the mass of the turntable. 

The TT1SE has been designed to offer a great value/performance ratio and we believe makes an ideal ‘first’ turntable for real enthusiasts who are either just starting out or returning to vinyl  after dabbling in the digital world(!) or want to add quality vinyl replay to their digital system.

It has several upgrade options, like a ruby bearing option for £50, an aluminium inner hub which is in house machined with polished spindle, and tonearm upgrades such as our new rear spigot and counterweight assembly. All these together go to upgrade the TT1SE to almost the complete TT2SE specification.

On top of this there is the soon to be released stand alone external speed control box, the SP1 with 33/45 speed change both with fine pitch adjustment, in addition to which you can also use the ISO1 mains isolation filter to further enhance performance.

We think this turntable has a class leading performance and will show any digital based format a clean set of heels, especially for its money.

Please note: Demand is high and there can be up to 2 weeks back-order on Talk Electronics turntables, please check with us.  

A small deposit will secure your turntable if we have to order from the factory, and we will deliver in to you free of charge (or if fitting your cartridge, a small delivery fee). 

Ask us for the upgrade details and prices if interested.

If you have an older turntable, you may wish to trade it in. We would always be interested in offering you a good trade-in deal, depending on the kit you have and condition.
