E.A.T. B-SHARP TURNTABLE

The European Audio Team (E.A.T) has released a new turntable, the B-Sharp, which takes many of its engineering cues from the company’s C-Major turntable. ‘ The B-Sharp sheds all of the non-essential cosmetic adornments of the C-Major without compromising performance or mechanical integrity, providing vinyl enthusiasts with a superb playback option at a more affordable price,’ said Paul Clarke of Audio Active, which distributes E.A.T. in Australia. The B-Sharp turntable is fitted with a B-Note carbon-fibre/allow tonearm that has user-adjustments for vertical tracking angle and stylus rake angle, while the aluminium alloy headshell is slotted to permit overhang/offset angle adjustments.

E.A.T. says the low-noise motor driving the platter via a belt is proprietary to the company, while the turntable has a floating chassis, aluminium platter and a high-density MDF base. ‘ Like the C-Major, the B-Sharp uses a high-tech thermoplastic elastomeric suspension system,’ said Clarke. The B-Sharp normally comes equipped with a factoryinstalled Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, and retails for $2,299 (RRP), but here in Australia you can also purchase it without the cartridge, for $1,999 (RRP).
