The Harmony
The Story
The turntable that made our name.
The Harmony was among our first turntables, and it is the one that brought Pure Fidelity to listeners’ attention. Anthony Kershaw reviewed it for Audiophilia in 2019, and it has appeared in Stereophile’s Recommended Components in every edition since 2023.
Since then it has remained the heart of the line, refined over the years but never redesigned for the sake of it. Today it is our Reference line turntable: a 50-millimetre Ultra MDF plinth on a 19-millimetre aluminum platform and four GAIA IV footers, a 48-millimetre Delrin platter, and the Conductor speed controller. The platter turns on a ruby ball, rated 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, one step below diamond, in a well of bronze, beneath a shaft of stainless steel. We could buy a hundred steel balls for the price of one ruby. We use the ruby.
Quilted Maple
High glossQuilted maple earns its name honestly. The figure pools and folds across the surface like fabric caught mid-motion, and it moves as you move. Under high gloss the quilt seems to sit below the surface rather than on it, which gives the wood real depth. No two boards are alike, so no two Harmonies in quilted maple are alike either.
Hawaiian Koa
SatinKoa grows only in the Hawaiian Islands, where it has been prized for centuries, first for canoes and later for ukuleles and fine furniture. Its grain runs in warm bands of gold and brown, and where the figure curls it shimmers as the light moves across it. In satin the colour stays rich and natural.
Flat Cut Walnut
SatinFlat cutting slices the walnut log lengthwise, through its growth rings, so the grain rises in long arches down the face of the plinth. Walnut has been a cabinetmaker’s favourite for centuries: even, warm and deep brown. In satin it looks the way good walnut should, quiet, natural and inviting to the hand.
Santos Rosewood
SatinSantos rosewood, also called pau ferro, grows in the dry forests of South America. Its long, flowing grain runs in streaks of chocolate, amber and near black, and it is dense and hard enough that guitar makers choose it for fingerboards. In satin it shows every stripe without glare.
Black Ash
SatinAsh has an open, strongly marked grain, and under a black finish that grain stays visible as a fine, living texture rather than disappearing into flat colour. It is our most understated finish and, for many, the most modern: dark, quiet and still unmistakably wood.

What it sounds like
The hybrid design, heard.
The hybrid design gives the Harmony the speed and clarity of a light turntable with the damping of a heavy one, on a platform built against vibration from the shelf. Stereophile’s Ken Micallef called it one of the finest analog playback machines he has heard.
