  • Notes
  • A top-of-the-line turntable engineered by Lafayette for the audiophile who demands the utmost in performance and sound! Most distinctive in the T-6000 is the direct-drive 72-pole frequency generator AC servo motor. This advanced ball-bearing drive system eliminates belts and rim idlers. The speed of the motor is the same as that of the platter, all of which results in an average wow and flutter of just 0.03% and a S/N ratio of -65 dB!


    Also of significance is the S-shape chrome-plated tubular brass tone arm mounted on a highly sensitive one-point suspension system. It features lateral balance weight as well as a direct-reading micrometer-adjustable counterweight ... this provides stylus pressure from 0 to 3 grams. Anti-skate control is direct-reading adjustable type. Cue and pause control. Die-cast 12", 3-lb. aluminum platter has strobe markings for both 50- and 60-Hz cast into the turntable side ... lighted strobe indicates speed regulation. Speed regulation is completely independent of the power line frequency. Separate 33 1/3- and 45-RPM adjustable speed controls. Heavy-wall, impact-resistant smoked dust cover is hinged and detachable. Wood cabinet with direct-mounted components ... no metal motor board. 16 1/4 x 19 3/8 x 7" DWH. Includes low capacity audio output cables. U.L. listed. Imported.

    Price listed with Base and Dust Cover.
