Pursuing zero resonance and zero vibration. Whether it's a car, a camera, or even audio equipment, people who get into it seem to end up settling on a manual machine. This is probably because, in addition to expectations for basic performance and reliability supported by simplicity, there is also the great enjoyment of controlling the machine. If a tool is simply a means to accomplish a goal, it should be fine if it can automatically and efficiently complete the job without any hassle. Playing with a machine means that our feelings are transmitted to the machine and a reaction is returned. This is nothing other than recognizing them as living beings. Living things evolve and grow, so it takes a certain amount of time for them to become adults. The Victor (JVC) manual player system QL-A75 is a product that was born 10 years after Victor first proposed the idea of ​​"no resonance, no vibration." By changing the arm pipe and cartridge, you can carefully tailor sound to your liking. There is only one automatic model in this range, and it has an incredibly convenient auto stop-up mechanism.
