Onkyo Direct Drive
Turntable
CP-1050 Timestep version
This
version supplied to us by Timestep has
the UK improved wow and speed
stability. It's almost as good as the
SL-1200 / SL-1210 but at a fraction of
the price. It looks better too !
We have absolutely no idea why Onkyo are
selling these at this price, if it were
up to us we would suggest £699.00 as the
retail, and even then it would represent
stonking good value for money. Right now
it's just £399.00
Unlike
some budget turntables this is big and
heavy.
It doesn't come with a poor built in
phonostage and has proper Phono/RCA
connectors on the back. There is a
supplied interconnect and you may want
to improve on this later and fit a
better cartridge from us ?
You won't get any freebies from us, but
you do get our service, our help and a
genuine Timestep version. You do get
free shipping by Fed Ex !

Rediscover the Magic of
Vinyl
There’s never been a
better time to rekindle your passion for
collecting and listening to records.
With the introduction of the CP-1050,
Onkyo offers a turnkey solution for
audiophile-level analog sound with less
hassle and expense. It features a smooth
and stable direct drive (there’s no
belts to replace and less high-frequency
noise) controlled by a quartz-lock
system to ensure the aluminum platter
rotates with utmost precision. The
aluminum tonearm ships with a quality MM
cartridge, and thanks to an innovative
counterweight system and detachable
headshell, can also accept most popular
aftermarket cartridges. Together with
solid MDF deck construction, these
elements combine to deliver exceedingly
beautiful sound that’s both clear and
detailed while celebrating the lushness,
depth, and warmth so beloved of the
analog format.
As you would expect from
a company that created its first crystal
turntable pickup for the CP-1000 back in
1946, every aspect of the design has
been painstakingly engineered to deliver
audio performance well beyond its
suggested price of just £399.00
