Pure Fidelity Encore Mk2 or Eclipse Mk2 Turntable

The primary difference between the two models is the aesthetic design of the wood base. Both turntables share the same high-performance internal components, including the 50 mm Ultra MDF plinth, bronze bearing, and Delrin platter, ensuring identical audio performance.

Delrin is an ideal material for platters because it has a density similar to vinyl, which helps minimize unwanted vibrations. This results in a more organic, balanced sound with a lower noise floor compared to metal or glass platters.

The separate linear power supply isolates electrical noise from the motor, preventing interference from reaching your sensitive phono cartridge. This separation is essential for achieving the quiet background and stable speed necessary for high-fidelity playback.

The Pure Fidelity Encore and Eclipse models are typically sold as platforms, allowing you to choose the tonearm that best suits your cartridge preference. Please check the specific configuration options at the time of purchase to see if a tonearm bundle is included.

The silicone O-rings provide a physical decoupling layer between the sub-platter and the main platter. This isolation prevents motor vibrations from traveling through the platter and into the stylus, resulting in a cleaner and more detailed presentation.

A dust cover is not included as standard, but it is available as an optional upgrade. Given the precision-machined nature of the turntable, a cover is recommended to keep the platter and bearing assembly free of dust and debris.
