AMG Giro MK II Turntable

The nonsuspended design prioritizes mechanical stability and direct energy transfer. By eliminating the complexity of a suspension system, the turntable provides a more rigid, grounded platform that minimizes resonance and ensures the stylus tracks the groove with greater accuracy.

The dual-pivot bearing tonearm is engineered to provide the stability of a gimbal design while maintaining the low-friction movement of a unipivot. This hybrid approach allows for exceptional tracking precision and adjustability, making it highly compatible with a wide range of high-performance cartridges.

Yes, the Giro MK II uses a 12.3 lb POM (polyoxymethylene) platter. POM is an ideal material for turntables because its density and internal damping properties closely match that of vinyl, which helps to absorb unwanted vibrations and results in a cleaner, more neutral playback.

While it requires careful attention, the setup is straightforward. The unit features adjustable spiked feet that allow you to precisely level the turntable on your equipment rack, which is essential for maintaining the speed stability and tracking performance of the dual-pivot tonearm.

The ultra-quiet Swiss DC motor is chosen for its consistent torque and low-noise operation. By pairing this motor with a two-tier coupling system, the Giro MK II achieves highly stable rotational speed, ensuring that pitch remains accurate and the musical presentation stays realistic.

Because of its robust, mass-loaded construction, the Giro MK II is relatively low-maintenance. You should periodically check the leveling of the spiked feet and ensure the tonearm settings remain calibrated, but the core mechanical components are designed for long-term reliability.
