Delrin Platter
The turntable uses a 1.3-inch Delrin platter weighing 6.8 lb (3.1 kg). Its high mass provides rotational stability, while Delrin's mechanical characteristics help create a stable interface between the record and platter while reducing unwanted resonance.

MoFi Ultra Tonearm
The included 10-inch MoFi Ultra Tonearm uses a straight aluminium armtube and gimbaled bearing system. High-quality bearings provide low-friction movement, while Cardas Audio internal wiring maintains the analogue signal path from the cartridge connections to the gold-plated RCA connectors.

Plinth & Fender Design
The plinth is constructed from real alder wood, a material closely associated with Fender instruments. It is finished in Fender's iconic three-color Sunburst treatment, bringing the visual character of classic Fender guitars to the turntable. The plinth is designed with resonance control in mind while retaining the distinctive Fender aesthetic.
Bearing & Isolation
A hardened-steel inverted bearing combines steel, bronze and sapphire components for smooth and quiet platter rotation. The turntable also incorporates anti-vibration feet developed with Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) to reduce the transmission of external vibration into the record-playing mechanism.
Phono Connection
The American Vintage does not include a built-in phono preamplifier. A suitable external phono stage or an amplifier with the correct PHONO input is therefore required. The phono stage must match the cartridge selected for the turntable.
