J.Sikora Standard MAX Turntable

J.Sikora eventually accomplished their aims with the use of no less than five different and carefully-tuned materials, forming a sandwich arrangement. Rotational stability is regulated by a very advanced motor control circuit (DC/PAPST) and any remaining irregularities were largely eliminated by the use of two diametrically-opposed motors.

This superb turntable may be used with a wide range of tonearms.

All US Standard MAX model turntables are available in your choice of silver or black finishes.
