Circle

About the Circle

The Wilson Benesch Circle turntable represents a major advancement in turntable design, replacing traditional sprung suspension with a cantilevered carbon fibre suspension system. This design uses unidirectional carbon fibre cantilevers terminated in alloy outposts to form a suspended sub-chassis, isolating the motor housed in the lower plinth from the upper plinth by lossy polymer nodes. The turntable features two distinct circular plinths made from Polyoxymethylene (POM) for superior stiffness and damping, replacing conventional MDF plinths. It utilizes a phosphor bronze bearing for the platter, ensuring accurate diameter and durability. The Circle turntable is noted for its elegant curves, ease of assembly, and high tweakability, offering a wide soundstage and solid analogue sound quality. The Full Circle model includes the A.C.T. 0.5 carbon-fiber-composite tonearm and Ply MC cartridge, with a belt-driven, two-speed acrylic platter of 12" diameter. The Circle 25 is a re-engineered version celebrating Wilson Benesch's 25th anniversary, featuring improved materials and design refinements, including a new bearing design and lighter A.C.T. 25 tonearm. The turntable is available in black or white finishes and weighs approximately 9 lbs (4 kg) without stand.
