East End Hi-Fi is pleased to form a new partnership with Acoustic Signature, one of the leading manufacturers of turntables and tonearms.

Viewing the attached pictures, you will see the Challenger Mk3 with the Silencer Platter and two motors that East End Hi-Fi has on demo! Please contact us for an audition!  (The pictures also show the Origin Live Illustrious tonearm.)

The sale is for a brand new Challenger Mk3 turntable only.  An arm and cartridge can be added at additional cost.

Acoustic Signature designer Gunther Frohnhöfer has been building mass loaded aluminum-based turntables for decades. Acoustic Signature turntables are solid, non-suspended designs with heavy platters and electronically controlled drive motors. Their
maintenance-free bearings are meant to last a lifetime, while their
exchangeable tonearm plates allow for easy swapping of tonearms.
 

TAS 2016 Product of the Year & 2017 Editor's Choice Awards:


"Though the Challenger Mk3 may not have the sheer low-end weight and power of theesteemed German manufacturer's upper tier designs, it still delivers purity,
focus, elegance of presentation, and exceptional musicality. Drums, for
instance, may not have the ultimate punch, but are still terrifically fast,
textured and explosive."

"Call it a Challenger that punches above its weight - and TAS' 2016 TURNTABLE OF THE
YEAR" 

Stereophile Recommended Components Awards  Oct 2016:
 
Acoustic Signature Triple X:  "Anyone considering the purchase of a more
expensive high-mass turntable owes it to himself/herself to audition the
Acoustic Signature Triple X before spending money on something else."
(Vol.38 No.9 WWW)

Acoustic Signature WOWXXL: "Compared with RD's Linn LP12 record player, the
combination of WOW XXL and Acoustic Signature TA-1000 tonearm produced greater
dynamics and detail, greater vitality in the sounds of brass instruments, and
more convincing reproduction of space."

Acoustic Signature WOWXL:  Described by HR as "the lowest  priced,
high-quality turntable I know of that can be purchased with  a blank
armboard"

Whether it's Classical, Jazz, or other genres, the Acoustic Signature turntables
perform mightily. For interested parties in the Long Island area, please
visit East End Hi-Fi for a demo. We will help you transform your CD/LP
collection back into music again!!

Questions for the seller
Hello, is the tone arm mount an individual piece or is it attached to the plinth? Can the two drive motors be run on its own belt rather than two motors on one belt? Thanks. D
Derek, Yes, the arm board is separate and adjustable from the turntable plinth. Yes, each motor comes with its own belt and that's precisely how it's used. Chris
