Default Acoustic Signature XX
This is the first XX to arrive in North America. It’s a beautiful, well constructed TT. List price without arm is 5,900.

This was developed in large part due to the fact that the XXX had too large of a footprint for many consumers.

It will be at Apoxna.

Good looking turntable. I love when they have a big chunk of metal for the platter.

One other question, how would you describe the tonal balance? Did it have mid-band warmth or is it more of a fast, clear sound?

I heart my Acoustic Signature Thunder




They are just amazingly well built. And you sometimes never expect the heft of these beasts until you try to lift them.

The XXX which can fit a 12” arm is like 50kg!!

Hi Serge - I didn't have too much time to get down that level of analysis but I would say at least initially, it would be the latter.
