Amadeus with Koetsu Black

About the Amadeus with Koetsu Black

The Well Tempered Labs Amadeus is a sophisticated turntable featuring a dual multi-layer plywood plinth with anodized aluminum top and bottom layers, an acrylic translucent platter with anti-static foam mat, and a servo-controlled 12 VDC motor decoupled from the plinth. It includes a 10.5" LTD Symmetrex tonearm with unique zero-clearance bearing design using a golf ball in silicone fluid for damping, and a polyester thread belt for minimal wow and flutter. The turntable comes with an external Ctrl power supply for electronic speed control between 33 1/3 and 45 RPM and additional outputs for phono stages. The Koetsu Black is a low-output moving coil cartridge with an anodized aluminum body, boron cantilever, and samarium cobalt magnet. It delivers a smooth, textured, and colorful sound with a wide frequency response (20Hz-100kHz), 0.4mV output, and recommended tracking force of 1.8-2.0 grams. This combination offers a highly musical and detailed vinyl playback experience, suitable for audiophiles seeking top-tier analog performance.
