About the Ariadne

The Maplenoll Ariadne Reference is part of the Maplenoll Ariadne series, which includes the Signature model. While specific details about the Reference model are limited, it shares many characteristics with the Signature model, such as the use of air-bearing technology for both the turntable and tonearm. This technology ensures smooth operation and reduces friction, contributing to its high sound quality. The turntable is typically belt-driven and features a solid lead platter, which can vary in weight depending on the configuration. The tonearm is linear tracking with air bearings, allowing for precise tracking across the record without inner groove distortion. The system requires an air compressor to maintain the air bearings, which are critical for its operation.
