Test reports
“From the Typhoon Neo came the pure music. What sounds so trivial, is actually the very great art which only a few can master. The Typhoon Neo is a master of sound.”
The Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO was awarded with the “Goldenes Ohr 2022” (“Golden Ear”) by the german magazine Audio in the category turntable.
“I heard a whole lot more of what I love about playing records when I played them on the Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO/TA-5000 NEO setup. Enough said.”

Customer review
I am totally convinced by your service and your products. Therefore I bought a Hurricane NEO this year an later as an ‘upgrade’ a Typhoon NEO as well. They are outstanding turntables.

Silencer modules
The Silencers absorb unwanted vibrations, leading to a huge improvement in sound fidelity. The Typhoon NEO’s platter features 24 Silencer modules. The basic Silencer finish is polished brass with an optional upgrade to 24 carat gold-plated or polished chrome.
Stormy siblings
The basic design approach unites the Tornado NEO, Hurricane NEO and Typhoon NEO turntables. All three models are subplatter driven and have the new DTD® bearing in common.
But the further features and technology levels of the three high mass turntables differ aside these characteristics:
