An elliptical stylus has many advantages over spherical styli.

The dual magnet cartridge comes with an elliptical diamond stylus. The Audio Technica AT95E is a warm sounding cartridge with a smooth high end, sweet mids and rich low end.

Our rigorous testing ensured no performance issues. Typically, the modulations in the groove can cause friction and this contributes to centripetal force acting on the arm and causing it to skate towards the center of the record. Since our tonearm is perfectly balanced radially around its main pivot bearing axis, it does not skew or favor one groove side over the other. Our tone-arms are factory-set at the optimal tracking force of ~2 grams. Spring loaded tracking force is beneficial in regards to consistency of the force applied-especially on warped records. The tracking force is (dynamically) applied by a spring as opposed to the usual counterweights found in horizontal record players in which the arm is (statically) balanced. This allows it to be played in a vertical position and not flop to one side or the other. This audiophile staple is perfectly balanced radially around its main pivot bearing axis. We created a fully-adjustable, carbon-fiber tone-arm. The speaker cavities incorporate tuned bottom porting to offer superior bass response. We achieved the best possible sound without compromising aesthetics or performance. We use two Tymphany 2” neodymium speakers driven by a 15w per channel digital amplifier. The Floating Record comes with a dynamic, full-range audio system. RCA out is a line level signal that is used to connect to an existing stereo system via the “Tape in” or “Aux In” inputs on your receiver, pre-amp or amp. This allows the player to be used as a standalone Hi-Fi turntable. The “Line Out” bypasses the internal amplifier and speakers, and takes the signal from our built-in phono-preamp to the “Line Out” RCA jacks. The Onboard position activates the built-in phono stage-the 15 watt digital power amp and built-in speakers. The switch is used to choose between Onboard and Line Out. You have the option of bypassing the internal amp and speakers and outputting an RIAA equalized line level signal from the built in phono-preamp via the 'Line Out' RCA jacks. You can bypass the integrated speakers and use the Floating Record as a standalone Hi-Fi turntable for your own audio setup. We deconstructed the elements of a premium turntable setup and reconstructed them in a manner that maintains their high-performance standards. We’ve engineered the Floating Record to flawlessly play your vinyl vertically and output full-range stereo sound. However, the Floating Record’s integrated design allows it to beautifully fit into most environments with ease. Traditional record players take up a lot of space and require additional components such as pre-amps, amps, integrated receivers, speakers and all the necessary cables. The Floating Record allows you to showcase your vinyl while maintaining high-quality playback.

All of these are included in our integrated design.ĭon’t hide your vinyl. You don't need to set up your cartridge or purchase additional outboard gear such as phono pre-amps, amplifiers and speakers (although you have the option to). You’ll be spinning tunes out of the box in a matter of minutes. We designed the Floating Record for everyone from the first-time record listener to the seasoned vinyl enthusiast. The result is a high-performance turntable that plays your records vertically-producing the illusion that it’s floating. We yearned for a visceral vinyl experience that showcased the record as both art and a medium to produce analog sound. In this spirit, we sought to reimagine the record player. The result is a visually and mechanically sound way to experience vinyl music.Īt Gramovox our design philosophy is to reimagine vintage audio design with modern technology. We reimagined turntable technology that uses audiophile-grade materials and components. The Floating Record is a high-performance turntable that plays your records vertically through built-in, dynamic, full-range stereo speakers (or via RCA line out). High-Performance Vertical Turntable with Full-Range Stereo Speakers.
