To convince people of the validity of his philosophy and conceptual approach, Pierre Riffaud created a model that could be called “discovery”.
Entirely hand-crafted, this model offers audiophile-level performance at a reasonable price, in comparison with so-called “high-end” industrial products.
This Petite Platine is nevertheless very powerful, and must overcome the skepticism of music lovers. Its size (400 x 500 mm) enables it to be fitted with the Opus AS arm as original equipment. This is a 12-inch unipivot arm developed by Pierre Riffaud to make the most of the musical characteristics of his turntables.
