Veteran Turntable Designer Touraj Moghaddam Introduces The Dynamic Groove Record Player

Yes, the megabuck turntables and other costly products get the most attention, but the introduction of a circa $4000 "plug'n'play" turntable from Vertere struck me among the most significant debuts at High End Munich 2019.

Mr. Moghaddam's designs for his previous company Roksan are well-known as are his costly ones for Vertere. On this video he explains the difficulties involved in designing high performance for low cost, which is arguably a more difficult task.

The Dynamic Groove is a true "plug'n'play" turntable complete with cartridge. It's designed for those who want "out of the box" high performance. Based on what we heard in the room, he's succeeded.

“The job of a record player is very simple, and very linear” says Touraj Moghaddam “the most accurate measurement of something going past the stylus and throwing it from side to side over 1000 times every centimetre.”

Among the Dynamic Groove's features:

• Advanced microprocessor generated electronic motor drive for best possible drive
• Fully programmable and copper/stainless steel shielded motor drive PCB – allowing for future upgrades.
• Low voltage 24 pole precision synchronous motor, with its dedicated power supply precisely adjusted for lowest motor noise and vibration
• High-accuracy polished stainless steel, high aspect ratio, main bearing spindle and main bearing housing with tungsten carbide super-precision ball
• High precision CNC machined aluminium alloy drive pulley
• High precision machined aluminium alloy platter with bonded PETG record interface mat and cork/neoprene/nitrile bonded underside resonance control disk
• Noiseless and stiction eliminating nylon thread tonearm bearings each made up of hundreds of 3 microns thick twined Nylon 6.6/6 strands
• Two layer aluminium alloy / polymer sandwich non resonant tonearm beam
• One piece, gold plated flexible PCB tonearm internal wiring
• Stainless steel main balancing counterweight and tracking adjustment weight

I hope you will watch the short video because it will give you insight into how one legendary designer went about the task of creating great sound that won't break the bank, by thinking "outside the box"
