The WAND 14.4 TURNTABLE (with tonearm options) *NEW*

THE WAND 14.4 TURNTABLE bespoke & NZ made 

 ** A variety of Wand Tonearm options available, see dropdown box below for inclusive pricing **

The experience of the special musical magic that vinyl is able to reproduce led to the development of the Wand Tonearm® and now The Wand Turntable™.

Beautiful turntable - exquisite sound and aesthetics!

Launched in 2011 The Wand Tonearm picked up several Design Awards and numerous Five Star reviews around the world. The Wand Tonearm® represents a step change in tonearm design. This is not your grandmother’s ‘gramophone’. Its large diameter carbon-fibre arm tube makes it at least four times stiffer than ‘traditional’ arms. It is available as in 9.5in, 10.3in and 12in lengths and in three specification levels.

Features/ Specification;   Model 14-4 (14 inch / 4-layer platter)

 Big diameter 14 inch Smart Platter™.

  • Large diameter (360mm) gives 20% more inertia than conventional platter of equivalent mass.
  • Four-layer construction of platter damps vibration and noise transfer.
  • Acrylic playing surface for vibration transfer from record for increased resolution.
  • Screw down clamp with acrylic surface allows record label to be seen.
  • German Plywood main structure. Asymmetric shape and internal machining to disperse noise and vibration.
  • Zentroidal™ three point suspension system. The centroid of suspension, the stillest point, is close to the playing arc to maximise shock and vibration rejection.
  • DC Motor with superb electronic speed control. 33 / 45rpm (& 78 to order).
  • Electronic braking for quick record changing.
  • Will accommodate 9.5in / 10.3in or 12in Wand tonearms (or other brands)
  • Swiss custom-made flat belt. This provides dynamic punch while maintaining noise isolation.
  • Includes a stylish lid.
    • Lid is mechanically outside the playing system
  • Optional on-board phono stage The Wand EQ Phono Stage is designed by New Zealand’s Pureaudio.  Also available as a stand alone unit.
  • Optional stand alone support for second arm.
  • 12kg (~480mm x 400mm x 120mm,  ~19” x 15”3/4 x 5”)
  • 100V- 240V AC 50-60Hz supply

Choose the Wand Tonearm for you...

Available in three lengths: 9.5", 10.3" & 12" and two specification levels, The  Wand Plus and The Wand Master Series.The Master series is also available as a 14" model to special order.

On paper, 12" arms offer a 30% reduction in distortion compared to a 9in" arm. The 14in Master model takes this to new lengths but is only available to special order. The massive strength of The Wand armtube means the benefits of this length can be heard rather than lost in added resonances.

Our 10.3" arm is a great way of having 2/3 of the benefits of the 12" arms in a more compact package. It is designed explicitly to be the longest arm you can fit on a Linn LP12 or Technics SL1200 family turntable, including the new GR models (or similar compact turntables). Special mounting kits are available to make this even easier.
