Merrill Heirloom Turntable

A rare (may be the only one) Rosewood Heirloom with a blank subchassis, clamping ring, screw down center clamp, dust cover and new DMD and fluid damped motor. Very nice condition

This table was built in the 1990's . Lead lined plinth and lead damped platter with a bonded RCC mat. A tonearm can be provided and installed. Has a minor chip on rim of the acrylic platter but is hidden with clamping ring.This table will outperform the tables on the market today at any price.

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 GEM Dandy Digital Motor Drive System is the most advanced drive system available.

Made in the USA not China.

It affords a noticeable improvement in performance.

Hello George, The last time I was in your shop you said you may have a Merrill 101 demo, do you still have it? If so how much? Also is the heirloom spring loaded or not? Thanks, Scott Freeman
Scott, Do not have a demo M-W turntable. The Heirloom is a spring suspended table. Thank You George
