PolyTable SUPER12 Turntable

PolyTable SUPER 12
Hi my name is George Merrill I have designed and produced turntables since 1979. I enjoy seeing the smiles on peoples face when they are sweep away in a musical presentation. The concerns and feedback from many would be audiophiles is the cost of excellent equipment. My goal has always been to provide the best possible performance at a price that is affordable. Over the years my designs have been the cutting edge. Some of the innovations include: Fluid Damped Motor, Oilwell bearing, Constant Resonant Tuning System, Periphery clamping ring and Spectrum analyst resonant tuning. If you are looking for a music reproduction system that will send the goose bump factor through the roof, you must start with the heart of the system, the turntable.

The PolyTable SUPER12 is the newest and the top of the line among the four PolyTable models.
The PolyTable has been afforded a plethora of excellent reviews, both from professionals and buyers. A stunning review and class B recognition (PolyTable with SA-750D tonearm) from Michael Fremer (August 2016) and a super review along with product of the year from Absolute Sound.
The SUPER 12 added features:
17.3 HZ resonance
12” Jelco Tonearm Easy; Azimuth- Zenith- VTA- SRA- VTF- Antiskate Adjustment
Digital Motor Drive (speed accuracy 2 parts per million) with onboard strobe wand. This allows for world wide use (60 or 50 HZ)
Fluid Damped Drive Motor System. As used in the original Heirloom and Merrill-Williams 101.2 This part of what allows the PolyTable to compete and outperform turntables costing tens of thousands.
.700 Record Support Platter.
Hand built one at a time for the music lover.
$2995.00 Without cartridge.

PolyTable Digital Motor Drive (DMD)
Advanced Digital Processor Controlled
Any turntable that has fixed speed (no variation) cannot retain speed accurately under all temperature and humidity conditions. The expansion / contraction coefficients of the drive materials will vary with the environment. For example, acrylic will grow or shrink dramatically with normal room temperature changes. A variable speed control (DMD) solves this problem. The result is retention of accurate pitch.
The AC line power is contaminated with multi frequency trash. Without a buffer, this trash is fed directly into the motor and coupled into the drive system and record support platter. A properly designed Motor Drive will totally isolate the turntable drive system from this trash. This will help to eliminate the clouding of micro level information and lead to improved resolution culminating in better imaging, detail and musical realism.
The DMD uses a regulated DC power supply powering a microprocessor, employing crystal controlled adjustable dual oscillators for sine and cosine drive. The low distortion precision sine wave dual oscillators drive two high power low distortion amplifiers that power the motor windings. This allows total isolation from the power line. Speed sweep is plus or minus 2 percent. The turntable speed is checked with an on board strobe light driven by a short pulse crystal controlled square wave oscillator.
Speed accuracy is two parts per million.
Touch button logic control is employed.
The PolyTable Digital Motor Drive System is the most advanced drive system available. Made in the USA not China.
It affords a noticeable improvement
