The inverted oil circulating main bearing uses a modified Archimedean screw machined into the bearing's inner bore to draw oil from a reservoir at the base up to the thrust ball at the top, fully lubricating the bearing during rotation. This design eliminates noise and vibration caused by rotation, ensuring silent and smooth operation. The Orbe Controller Power Supply, featuring a large toroidal transformer and Never Connected™ circuitry with servo motor control technology, maintains precise platter speed by automatically adjusting output to correct any changes. The extra heavy 60 mm thick impedance-matched platter, crafted from vibration-damping material similar to vinyl, offers a neutral sound characteristic and increased mass for improved momentum. Dual-layer isolation and the three-point spring suspension system further isolate the turntable from external vibrations, enhancing overall sound purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"seo-h2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatility and Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orbe Turntable is equipped with the TecnoArm 2, providing a high-precision tonearm that complements the Orbe’s performance capabilities for an exceptional listening experience.
