Inspired by the celebrated Forte S model and boasting an eminently classic aesthetic, yet with a visible "high tech" touch as a result of its sophisticated engineering, this punchy 44kg analogue reference source benefits from a mighty plethora of technical innovations born of its manufacturer's passion for audio excellence.
Its elegant and robust chassis is accompanied by a CNC-machined solid aluminium platter with TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) elements inside. This cleverly absorbs resonance and two ultra-quiet, fully isolated DC-driven AC motors ensure smooth and stable rotation at all times.
It also includes such important new components as a newly developed one-piece drive belt, which incorporates carbon fibres in its construction to make it conductive and effectively eliminate static build-up during operation. The F-Dur rests on a solid MDF plinth free of hollow spaces and height-adjustable aluminium feet with damping via TPE inside.
Optionally, this turntable model can be purchased without arm, with carbon black C-Note VT 12" arm and straight type, with chrome-plated steel F- Note HT 12" arm and S-type to which the Jo No. 5 capsule type MC can be added.

Perfect, excellent service, I received it from the store because I am from Greece.
Great service and advice from the team. I upgraded my floor standing speakers and got very useful advice from Concerto Audio. Plus the speakers arrived within 24 hours too! Oh, and the speakers sound even better in my home. Well done, excellent.
I haven't bought from a proper hifi shop in many years. Decided I wanted a birthday present and so ended up in Concerto. A very pleasing experience. Excellent customer service from the young lady. Very happy with my purchase. I will return.
Great store. They have some great products for hifi lovers at very competitive prices. Wonderful attitude by the people who work there. I was able to do some A/B testing with different equipment and hook up my own DAC in their listening room. I am...
