The first turntables in AVM's company history are a contribution to the renewed market success of the beloved vinyl record.

Creating an analog source based on in-house developments and meeting the highest standards was a long-cherished dream and a top priority for AVM owner and managing director Udo Besser from the very beginning. The development of these two turntables was accompanied by new, more sophisticated phono preamps, such as the compact P30 preamp or the modular OVATION PH 8.3 flagship tube preamp. With the simultaneous competence of AVM in both disciplines, AVM, as a German luxury manufacturer, completes its comprehensive portfolio with a series of purely analogue masterpieces. Both turntables are equipped with tonearms specially designed by AVM and offer a whole range of technical refinements. Both the ROTATION R 2.3 and the ROTATION R 5.3 flagship model have tonearms specially designed by AVM and come up with a whole range of technical refinements.
