MG-1 Mk II Magic Groove Record Player
Product Reviews:
Taking vinyl replay beyond what’s possible in this turntable class, Record Player MG-1 Mk II Magic Groove includes and shares critical design elements of the SG-1 Player.
Vertere’s Record Player MG-1 Mk II Magic Groove has many critical aspects of its design based on the Vertere SG-1 high performance record player. This has enabled the MG-1 Mk II to provide vinyl replay beyond what is possible from its class. Record Player MG-1 Mk II will realise the potential of any high quality audio system.
The MG-1 Mk II precision main bearing and platter assembly, belt-driven by the SG-1 motor system, ensures smoothest running and provides a stable platform for the tonearm and cartridge. This combination provides an exceptionally wide dynamic range with ‘dark’ background that is only bettered by RG-1 or SG-1 record players.
With its plinth structure and isolation system based on the SG-1, Record Player MG-1 Mk II is designed to be maintenance and setup-free.
And the MG-1 Mk II with matching SG-1 tonearm and Motor Drive is a delight to use. Even in its standard form, with D-Fi tonearm cable and motor drive cable, the MG-1 Mk II provides a performance that is only bettered by the SG-1. However, the upgradability that is built into this class-leading record player elevates its performance, step by step, closer to the SG-1. Upgrade the tonearm and motor drive cables from D-Fi to Pulse-B, to Pulse-R and all the way to Pulse-HB, to realise the true potential of the MG-1 Mk II. Every step will provide an unparalleled musical experience and enjoyment that is only achievable from a Vertere record player.
Stylish and beautifully crafted with attention to the finest details, this record player is a must-have, and one that lovers of music on vinyl will cherish.
