With our 23kg Challenger turntable you get our statement entry level mass turntable. Here we bring together one of the most sophisticated drive system/PSU arrangement with a massive, high mass platter, a solid chassis and our external stand alone drive system.The whole deck is incredibly simple to set up, very versatile (permitting up to three arms to be fitted) and sonically its performance is outstanding. He runs very quiet, courtesy of the unique Tidorfolon main bearing. The Challenger offers remarkable, consistent performance at a highly competitive price.
As reviewers say: Some people may reconsider their expectations on a turntable at this pricepoint. We are shure our competitors do.

At the first view the Acoustic-Signature Challenger you think about "ultra solid". This stands also for the sound not only the look. He offers a ultradeep fundament and it is clearly focused. His extraordinary sound, the excellent craftmansship make it an real Stereoplay Highlight

HiFi World Great Britain 10/2006
"...with the kind of impact you usually associated with 6000EUR US superdecks
not 2200 EUR designs. ...as this deck had the best timing of the group, propelling the music along with incredible energy and drive.
It proved fast, with excellent resolving capabilities, had outstanding transient attack and a huge dynamic range. This was tempered with superb control, sonically it offered virtuallyno overhang, and could go from a subtle wisher to room shaking volume and back again with ease.
The Challenger is is set to make a lot of people reconsider their expectations of a deck at this price point and offer simply phenomenal value for the money".
