Accessories and Upgrades
SS-1 record weight.
Comes standard on the “E” Line. If the record is not properly seated on the platter, your sound can be degraded by vibrations and departures from flatness. That’s why the turntable comes equipped with the SS-1, a solid stainless steel record weight with black felt on the underside. It slips over the record spindle to dampen vibrations and flatten your LPs. The result is an increase in resolution and a lower noise floor. The SS-1 measures 0.75” high x 2.75” wide and weighs 1.6 lbs. (20 mm x 70 mm; 750 g).
SS-10 stainless steel record isolator.
Comes standard on the “H” Line. Not only does the supplied record weight flatten and stabilize your LPs, but it also suppresses micro vibrations around the record label that can introduce subtle noise and veiling into the music. The SS-10 is a stainless-steel record isolator that slips over the spindle and rests on the record label. To avoid deadening the sound, it contacts the record label with an array of 10 micro stainless-steel balls inserted in a layer of black Delrin. The resulting sound is quieter, more detailed and lifelike. The SS-10 measures 0.75” high x 2.75” wide and weighs 1.7 lbs. (20 x 70 mm; 760 g).
SS-100 record isolator.
Comes standard on the Symphony. Beyond merely flattening and stabilizing your LPs, the SS-100 record weight reduces micro-vibrations around the record label that can introduce subtle noise and obscure the music. A stainless-steel record isolator featuring ten micro ruby balls, fits over the spindle and rests on the record label. To prevent deadening the sound, the ruby balls are set into a layer of black Delrin, making precise contact with the label. This results in a sound that is quieter, more detailed, and remarkably lifelike.
The SS-100 measures 0.75 inches high by 2.75 inches wide and weighs 1.7 pounds (20 x 70 mm; 760 g).
Acrylic platter.
While we offer Delrin for our turntables due to its exceptional benefits, we understand that some customers may prefer Acrylic, so we provide that option as well. Some manufacturers choose glass platters, believing low mass enhances speed and dynamics. Others opt for aluminum to achieve high mass and stability. However, both materials often require a mat on top to mitigate resonance and ringing. To offer an alternative, we also use Acrylic, an inherently non-resonant material. Acrylic shares similar acoustic properties with vinyl records, allowing the record to sit directly on the platter without a mat. This ensures excellent vibration damping and reduces unwanted resonance. The result is a sound that is clear, detailed, and dynamic, with improved imaging and a balanced frequency response. While Acrylic may not have the same mass as Delrin, it offers a compelling sonic signature that many audiophiles appreciate.
Stainless Steel Arm-Board.
Coming standard with The Symphony, every component influences the overall sound quality, we offer an armboard made from high-grade stainless steel. Renowned for its strength and stability, stainless steel provides an unwavering platform for the tonearm, effectively dampening vibrations that could color the sound. This leads to improved tracking accuracy and a purer signal path from the cartridge to your ears, allowing you to experience music with heightened clarity and dynamic range.
To achieve such superior performance, we employ advanced CNC machining techniques in crafting our stainless steel armboards. Our custom tools achieve repeatable tolerances of 1/1000 inch, ensuring each piece meets our exacting standards. This meticulous machining process not only enhances the armboard’s structural integrity but also its ability to isolate the tonearm from external vibrations. The result is a richer, more lifelike listening experience that embodies our commitment to exceptional audio performance.
Acrylic Dust Cover
This is an optional accessory that fits all four models. It is made of ¼” thick acrylic with polished edges and has a metal Pure Fidelity logo embedded in the center . These are custom manufactured to our exact specifications and are specified as “ Museum Quality “ A very elegant solution to a common problem…… Keeping dust off your investment

GAIA IV isolation footers.
Comes standard with the ‘H’ line and the Symphony. Heralded by multiple industry awards, the patented IsoAcoustics GAIA™ isolation footers make a huge difference in the focus and expression of music reproduction. So it was only natural that we approached the Markham, Ontario-based IsoAcoustics to develop a lower-profile version specifically for Horizon and Harmony. The result: the extraordinary GAIA IV footers.
