The Prelude is an elegant turntable that defines itself as a genuinely affordable product but capable of providing an extraordinarily neutral sound. To achieve this goal it has been necessary to meet certain compromises, but the basic principles remain the same as in EAT's highest level designs in that only a high mass platter can provide the correct speed and accuracy for reading discs. vinyl. Added to this is a low tolerance bearing made of polished stainless steel that rests on a soft bronze support, a solution that is otherwise identical to that used in the highest level EAT models and that speaks loud and clear about the unequivocal vocation High End of the Prelude. For its part, the plinth - the base that supports the whole - is made of high-density MDF, protected by a total of eight layers of lacquer that give the new EAT an appearance and finishes of authentic luxury, located light years away from the of products of the same class and price. Furthermore, the EAT is equipped with an extremely light, rigid and resonance-free tonearm that includes a carbon tube and is constructed in a single piece to create more suitable resonance frequencies with a moving magnet (MM) pickup capsule, which is generally the most common type used in turntables in this price category.
