Naim Soltice är ett komplett system bestående av drivverket Solstice, Naim Aro 2 tonarm, Equinox MC pickup, Solstice Series RIAA och strömförsörjning. Priset är komplett, dvs verk, arm, pickup, RIAA och strömförsörjning. Akkelis Audio har såklart ett demoex så snart den börjar leveraras. Vet du redan nu att du vill ha en Naim Solstice Special Edition så skynda dig att förhandsboka en. Den görs bara i 500 ex och en begränsad mängd tilldelas Sverige, "its now or never".... ------------------------------------------------- Solstice Special Edition Limited to just 500 units, this Special Edition includes the Solstice turntable, a next-generation version of the iconic Naim Aro tonearm, an Equinox MC cartridge, Solstice Series Phono Stage, Power Supply and bespoke accessories set. The Solstice turntable combines core Naim design philosophies, such as multiple levels of mechanical decoupling, with a celebration of beautiful materials. It features a magnetic bearing supporting a high-mass, highly polished aluminium platter, with a unique, self-calibrating motor drive system, meticulously delivering the Naim sound. The Special Edition package also includes a commemorative book, plus the Naim Records True Stereo album – a curated collection of superb-quality True Stereo recordings, newly remastered for vinyl. High quality materials for improved performance Updating Aro for Solstice Special Edition involved retaining the original’s design principles and excellence, but boosting performance further still by using improved materials – including tungsten and carbon-fibre - and adding an all-new, no compromise bias, arm height and azimuth adjustments. New Aro may be stiffer still, but its approach is more flexible: it retains the familiar three-point fixing – maximising the integrity of the critical interface with the Equinox cartridge – but also has two-point, slotted fixings for alternative cartridges. There’s even finally a lift-lower device. Engineered with Swiss-watch precision The Equinox cartridge's Moving Coil (MC) inner assembly sits in a solid aluminium housing machined from a single billet. A raked silver polished chamfer passes over the black cartridge edges, simultaneously communicating the unseen facets of the diamond stylus and giving a nod to heritage Naim ‘chrome bumper’ designs. Equinox is an MC cartridge with a microline stylus shape - closer to the original cutting lathe head to enable the retrieval of accurate high-frequency information. To maximise stability and energy transfer, the stylus, cantilever and motor components are securely clamped to the cartridge body, which itself is attached to the headshell with a three-point fixing. Phono Stage NVC TT With the goal of making a glorious-sounding phono stage that was also easy and flexible to use, we referenced previous designs such as SuperLine, but also the pinnacle of Naim engineering: our Statement amplifier. The Solstice Series Phono Stage is the first to feature the Discrete Regulators developed for that flagship. Power Supply NPX TT The Solstice Series Power Supply is a bespoke design that powers both the turntable and the phono stage. For the ultimate performance, these two different power supplies are completely isolated, with no risk of interference. [-] Raising the game (and lowering unwanted noise) even further, the turntable power supply - like the Solstice Phono Stage – features Naim DR technology, providing the cleanest possible power. It’s also a smart power supply, which can detect the turntable has stopped and go into a 0.5W power sleep mode for standby. Precision engineered by Naim and Clearaudio While the Solstice Series NVC TT phono stage and NPX TT power supply are hand-crafted in Salisbury, the NVS TT turntable, ARO arm and Equinox cartridge are exactingly manufactured to Naim’s unique design by Clearaudio. ------------------------------------ The Naim Solstice Special Edition package in full: Naim Solstice Turntable NVS TT – combining core Naim design philosophies, such as multiple levels of mechanical decoupling, with a celebration of beautiful materials.
