Vector drive (pat pend): Simply “State of the
Art”…for any turntable. Conventionally, a belt yanks at
the bearing / platter. As the platter rotates this continually causes
bearing judder, seriously degrading low frequency resolution. To balance
and linearise the drive to bearing and platter, Vector uses a patented
asymmetric triple pulley arrangement. Permitting a faster servo loop,
the motor now has less work to do and so gets on better with its job
of smoothly turning the platter. All this is of little use unless it
actually benefits us in listening. Well with noticeably enhanced low
level, low frequency resolution, Funk V is clearly a superbly engineered
Giant Killer of a design.
Achroplat(pat pend): Improving on acrylic, it is the
perfect Achromatic (non-resonant) support
Inverted Sapphire Bearing. Very hard, very highly
polished. Seen in the highest performance decks.
DC Motor drive. Low vibration and optimally matched
to the platter’s inertia for consistent drive.
Sorbothane connected feet to isolate critical
midband energy from the outside world.
