Description

Cut from a block of granite, then sculpted and polished by hand, the Heritage tripod base is a work of art in its own right. It rests on a granite top machined from the same block of Zimbabwean granite.

Its original, monumental, never-before-seen appearance conceals an unprecedented ability to transcribe vinyl into living music.

Its design is based on the technical achievements of previous models (Epure, among others) and enriched by experience. It contains the main features of Pierre Riffaud’s philosophy:

  • Mass as an inescapable principle
  • Pure mechanics and belt drive
  • Kinetic inertia guarantees smooth rotation, transforming energy into unrivalled dynamics.
  • Partial magnetic repulsion (95% of the plate’s mass) provides a referent point of rotation.

These technical imperatives are elevated to the highest level here.

The master plan for this project has been maintained regardless of the difficulties involved.

The result is an exceptional turntable, probably the only one of its kind in the world.
