EAT Prelude: Audiophile high-end turntable in a timeless design
Uncompromising sound fidelity doesn't have to be unaffordable – the EAT Prelude impressively proves just that. As the renowned manufacturer's first affordable turntable, this model transfers the proven design principles of their high-end reference turntables to an attractive price range. Through the targeted use of mass, precisely manufactured bearings, and consistent resonance control, the turntable delivers exceptional dynamics and a strikingly neutral, uncolored sound.
Low-resonance chassis, heavy platter and decoupled drive
The EAT Prelude impresses visually with its high-density MDF plinth, finished with eight layers of elegant piano lacquer, allowing it to blend harmoniously into any living space. At its center, a heavy aluminum platter rotates on a precision-polished stainless steel bearing (0.01 mm) within a smooth bronze bushing – the same high-quality material combination used in the large, high-end models. The platter is driven by a belt and a diamond-cut precision pulley from a freestanding motor. Because the motor has no mechanical connection to the plinth, disruptive vibrations are reliably isolated from the chassis, while the DC power supply ensures ultimate speed stability. The optional version with the characteristic green motor and belt adds a distinctive touch to the turntable.
One-piece carbon tonearm and pre-mounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge
Specifically designed for optimal performance with moving magnet (MM) cartridges, the Prelude features a lightweight, extremely rigid, one-piece cast carbon fiber tonearm tube. A solid bearing block effectively absorbs unwanted vibrations, while the counterweight with integrated anti-resonator damper minimizes natural tonearm resonances. The popular Ortofon 2M Red cartridge comes pre-mounted and ready to play, and thanks to the high-quality tonearm geometry, it delivers exceptional sound. A perfectly fitting acrylic dust cover completes the package, ensuring immediate, audiophile-level musical enjoyment.
