Analogue Works TurntableZero Birch

The TT Zero is based around a solid birch ply plinth which houses the leaded bronze bearing and free standing motor pod. A high mass platter and low torque motor keep the platter rotating without any cogging - you start and stop the platter by hand - simple and effective.

The deck is also easily upgradeable with the WM One (Wave Mechanic) Power Supply.

Product Features

At the heart of all AnalogueWorks turntables is the over engineered single point bearing. This simple design ensures the smooth and silent running of the platter so that all you hear is the music. The high mass belt-driven platters maintain speed stability, while the solid birch ply plinths provide freedom from vibration and acoustic feedback. All materials and shapes have been chosen to balance or prevent resonance, creating a turntable with an ability to provide a faithful reproduction of your vinyl collection.

The Plinth

The most important raw material for birch plywood is a renewable natural resource - wood. Trees grow slowly in Finland's climate and thus the wood it produces is close-grained and of consistently high quality. Birch plywood has excellent mechanical, biological, and acoustical properties making it an ideal choice for our plinths. All stages of the manufacture of the plywood are controlled for veneer thickness, glue spread, dimensional accuracy, overall thickness, bonding strength, and appearance. The manufacturer is also certified to ISO 9000 and 14001 standards.

Feet

Designed to provide the AnalogueWorks turntables with additional isolation from vibration, the feet use weight dependant dampening material to minimise interference for improved audio performance.

Bearing

At the heart of any turntable is its main bearing. The AnalogueWorks bearing assembly is vastly over engineered and is manufactured to the highest precision. As a result the motor can rotate the platter assembly smoothly and silently without any unwanted bearing noise being presented to the cartridge. The manufacturer is certified to ISO 9001 standards.

Power Supply

The Black Eye power supply filters extraneous mains noise, allowing the motor to do its job quietly.

Reviews/Awards

"AnalogueWorks has been clever in putting the Zero+ together and has avoided particularly radical design aspects and exotic components. Instead it has focused on using the best materials it can get its hands on and sound engineering practice to deliver a turntable that is handsome, beautifully made and exceptionally capable across a very wide variety of music. We loved the Turntable One, but in this second generation of turntable models it has a genuine star, and the Zero+ should be on your shortlist if you're seeking a deck at this price."
