KENWOOD L-07D (1979) | The Ultimate Turntable

Brand: KENWOOD

Model: L-07D

Year: 1979

No other turntable can come as close to the theoretical limit of 100% reproduction of recorded musical signals. To get that performance, Kenwood had to invent the turntable all over again. Kenwood engineers found that one of the biggest obstacles to perfect sound was loss of energy caused by vibrational movement where the stylus meets the record groove. So, Kenwood designed the L-07D with a closed, ultra-rigid motor-platter-tonearm loop to virtually eliminate unwanted vibration. To further cancel out resonance it was formed a low-mass tonearm from alternating layers of aluminum, carbon and boron. Then the quartz-PLL, speed-phase double servo control motor received a 12-pound platter to give an extremely high moment of inertia for superior speed accuracy. Then all the workings were mounted in a 68-pound base of resin concrete bonded to mahogany in a cast aluminum frame to virtually eliminate resonance across the entire audible spectrum. The whole system is controlled by a separate power supply and logic control for the L-07D. An external Dynamic Phase Compensator that automatically regulates rotational accuracy and isolates the cartridge from electrical interference.
