EAT Forté S Turntable

The magnetic suspension feet decouple the turntable from the surface it sits on, effectively isolating it from external vibrations. This creates a much quieter noise floor, allowing you to hear finer details in your records that might otherwise be masked by resonance.

At 97 lbs, this is a substantial piece of equipment that requires a very sturdy, level surface. You will definitely need two people to position it safely, and you should ensure your rack or stand is rated to support the weight before installation.

Using two motors provides higher torque and more consistent rotational force compared to a single-motor design. This setup, combined with the high-mass platter, significantly reduces wow and flutter, ensuring your music plays at a precise, steady speed.

An inverted bearing design places the pivot point higher up, closer to the center of gravity of the platter, which improves stability during rotation. The ceramic ball reduces friction and wear over time, resulting in a smoother, more silent operation.

No, the Forté S features electronic speed control. You can switch between 33 and 45 RPM speeds with the push of a button, eliminating the need to manually move the belt.

The platter is exceptionally heavy at 15 kg and is damped with a combination of Sorbothane and recycled vinyl. This high-mass approach acts as a flywheel to maintain speed consistency while the damping materials absorb unwanted vibrations from the record itself.
