This 80W power supply is designed to sonically optimize synchronous motors in any turntable we know of. Even the mighty Commonwealth Electronics tables with their washing machine sized motors. The best thing about this design is it won't develop speed control issues as it warms up like many other designs on the market today.
This power supply will allow the amazing Garrard 301/401/Lenco(and many others) to run at the voltage and frequency that it was originally designed to be run at(220v/50Hz). Remember synchronous motor's speed is largely controlled by the frequency of the power, not so much voltage. We find the Garrard motor runs smoothest and most efficiently at about 200-210 volts and 48-52 Hz. This PS will let us in North America plug into our 115v/60Hz outlets and dial in the optimal voltage and frequency to obtain the best sound for your taste and room. Want more energy in your music...add more voltage. Want a smoother sound...less voltage. Having trouble getting the right speed...adjust the frequency knob. It's that simple!
Noise reduction is a big plus to running this power supply. When the motor runs smoother,
less noise is transmitted to the platter and of course the record itself. The motor will also generate less heat. Deeper and blacker backgrounds result. Improved imaging is an added bonus.
This unit has three setting so you can just switch a knob and change speeds. Each setting allows fine tuning of the respective speed. Or, you can leave the PS on one setting(usually 33) and change speeds from the turntable itself.
Very high quality parts are used throughout. An extra large heatsink keeps everything cool without any noisy fans. Special power cord included.

Xact Audio's Turntable Power Supply delivers controlled, stabilized and adjustable power to synchronous turntable motors. Speed is, for the most part, frequency controlled and fine adjustments are possible to any speed. The input circuit is a rectifier consisting of a transformer, diodes in a Graetz circuit and an integrated voltage stabilizer. This is followed by an ultra stable oscillator with 40-200Hz frequency regulation to adjust RPM. The signal from the oscillator is pure, un-distorted and free of power noise.
A transformer increases the voltage to the proper value needed to drive the motor. In other words, the amount of torque generated. This power supply is designed for vintage turntables such as Lenco and Garrard but it can drive any synchronous motor. Speed is selectable at 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM and 78 RPM and can be fine-tuned. Output voltage is adjustable from 180-230V. This allows for the lowest motor vibration and is confirmed by the face plate-mounted analog voltmeter.
