NZ$22,995.00 ea (incl. GST) This awesome FORTE turntable is fitted with beautiful MORCH DP8 12" tonearm w/ VTA adjustment & amazing Clearaudio da Vinci M/C cartridge. It has been our High-End
demo table and now ready for a new home for the discerning audiophile.
Winner of prestigious HiFi World Annual "Our Favourite Products" award
verdict five globes
- supreme musical ease
- unerring speed stability
- flawless engineering
- excellent fitted tonearm
If you're serious about vinyl, then this is one serious turntable. Designed to eliminate practically all unwanted resonances, the EAT Forte combines a metal sand-filled plinth with a completely separate motor assembly. Magnetic feet effectively decouple the whole thing from its surroundings, while a heavyweight semi-magnetic plinth and insulated tonearm take care of
any other vibrations. All you need to add to get great sounds is a suitable tonearm and cartridge combo for instance ones we have found to offer wonderful outcomes are:

The design of the Eat Forte turntable is based on a combination of two basic principles:
Separate Sub Chassis and a mass loaded turntable This gives us the best of both worlds. The chassis of the table is very heavy and mass-loaded using metal-filled sand. The feet are magnetic and act as a sub chassis to support the table.
Platter
The platter consists of two parts. The first part uses a soft alloy, the second part, a harder one. This reduces energy fl ow. The fi rst part also incorporates the neodymium magnets. The platter weighs more than 20 kg. The diameter of the platter is 400 mm (15.75 1/2) (not the usual 300 mm [11.8 1/2]). Kinetic energy stored in such big platter turning at 33 RPM is an
incredible 2460 Joules! This means that with the same weight you gain more moving mass on the platter. The platter also incorporates sorbothane damping to make it resonance free.
Vinyl matt
The vinyl matt is made from recycled vinyl records crating a perfect interface for the record. A clamp holds the record on the vinyl matt.
Bearing construction
The bearing is not standard but inverted with an oversized polished shaft. A ceramic ball is used on the top because it is very hard and inert. This, in combination with a Tefl on plate as a bearing mirror, is also a good damping device. Tefl on’s accurate satin surface produces perfectly smooth movement without any rumble. The platter has a magnetic suspension using
neodymium magnets. By increasing the distance from the bearing to the cartridge, the small neodymium magnets eliminate magnetic influence on the cartridge. Due to the magnets we can still move a large mass allowing the bearing to see virtually no pressure. This avoids rumble. (A mass loaded platter usually causes high levels of rumble.) The pressure of the
bearing is adjustable. There are existing different philosophies about bearing pressure. With the Forte turntable you can adjust it according your preferences and taste.
Magnetic Feet
The table has large magnetic feet with a bearing and stabilisation system. It guaranties close to 100% isolation from the floor and from airborne resonances. The magnetic bearing system allows us to use the extra silent Tefl on-ceramic combination. Usually high pressure would cause the bearing to wear out over the time. This does not happen because of the very low
pressure created by the use of the magnetic system.

The motor is a stand-alone, decoupled AC unit. It uses a sophisticated electronic circuit to create 100% clean AC. It is very heavy motor with lot of mass to reduce all the existing vibrations. Motor energy is absorbed by using a sandwich system of metal and MDF. We decided to use a “dual motor design” to eliminate noise in the motor. By using two relatively weak, but
silent running motors, we achieve perfect torque.
Belt
Long belts usually have some amount of wobble. To avoid this we use a special silicon string. This movement is also absorbed by the bearing block and by the huge mass of the platter itself.
EAT the Energy
The EAT Forte turntable is all about eating energy.
? Energy from the ground is decoupled by magnetic feet.
? Energy from the air is decoupled from the heavy chassis that is made from MDF and fi lled metal sand.
? Energy from tone arm and cartridge is absorbed by using a heavy metal tone arm base isolated by sorbothane.
? Energy from the belt is captured by the mass of the platter and by the string itself.
? Energy from the motor is captured by the dual-motor design, the decoupled motor unit and the mass-loaded motor chassis.
? Energy of the bearing is catch by the ceramic ball, the Tefl on plate and the magnetic bearing construction.

Review Simply put, it’s a massive machine that gets the best out of your vinyl without you – or it – having to try very hard, it seems you can afford not to! - HiFi World Don't be fooled by its conservative looks, this is a brilliantly conceived, superbly engineered vinyl spinner. A memorable seminal even - high end product.
HIGHLIGHTS: - supreme musical ease - unerring speed stability - flawless engineering

- excellent fitted tonearm What it gives then is brilliant sound out of a (very big) box, with a superb fitted arm that sings with almost any highish mass moving coil cartridge. It presents a relaxed, easy, nonchalant sort of sound, but one that is nevertheless immensely satisfying. The best thing is that it’s very devoid of character, or obvious strengths or weaknesses for that matter.
