The 8T8 is an expression of our love for
music and our desire to hear music
reproduced as accurately as possible.

We believe you will lind using the 8T8
turntable as satisfying ancxperience as
we enjoyed in designing and building it.

The 8T8 tracks records precisely as the original masters are cut: in perfect
tangency for minimum distortion. Straight-line tracking completely eliminates the
problems of tracking error and stylus overhang. Anti-skating correction is un-
necessary because the system exerts no skating force. External forces acting on
the stylus are in complete balance. Further. the tangential arm is much lighter than
conventional arms. since it is much shorter. For these reasons. the 8T8 transcribes
records with unprecedented clarity.

The precision of the tangential arm is complemented by other special features:

Pneu matically damped cueing descent.

Automatic muting in cue mode.

Level indicator and adjustable feel tor precise leveling.

Silent. nonmechanical 'louch Sensors for speed selection.

Independent speed controls for 3371/3 and 45 rpm with built-in stroboscope.

Hall Effect DC Servo motor for excellent speed constancy.

Warning: To prevent tire or shock hazard. do not expose this turntable to rain or mousture.
