The Essential 3 retains the simple yet elegant frame of the Essential II and boasts a series of notable improvements that elevate it well beyond the ability of its predecessor both technically and cosmetically. Made from high-quality MDF for its acoustically neutral character and now wrapped in a high-gloss paint finish (available in red white or black); the main structure combines both elegance and functionality. The plinth is then mounted on three anti-vibration feet for effective decoupling from the surface on which the turntable is placed. One notable upgrade from the Essential II is the new gloss MDF platter which is anti-resonant and acoustically neutral in its performance.
