It has been about three years and three months since the launch of the hugely innovative and hugely popular DG-1, but recently Touraj Moghaddam, founder and chief executive of Vertere, announced that the multi-award-winning DG-1 record player is being updated and improved. According to the press release, the DG-1 S improvements bring higher resolution replay, greater dynamic contrasts, and improved stereo separation with greater precision while simultaneously keeping the musicality the DG-1 delivers with great aplomb.
The new version, includes an improved platter bearing in which the precision machining and polishing operations have a higher tolerance with the variation halved statistically. The super smooth finish bore with the precision Tungsten Carbide interference fit ball delivers lower noise, lower rumble, a lower effort for the motor and less rotational variability the company says.
The Groove Runner S tonearm features an arm beam now constructed from a five-layer polymer laminate bonded to a second five-layer polymer laminate. The PCB flex signal carrier is bonded in-between the two laminates. The profile of the arm and bearing has improved the counterweight/bearing/headshell/cartridge alignment. The tonearm also includes improved bearings. The vertical Kevlar thread bearing is now adjustable for tension and azimuth. The horizontal nylon thread bearing is now fitted with greater precision to ensure even greater consistency.
Last, but not least, there is a new motor drive software which allows separate adjustment in two steps, initially the sine wave voltage and then the cosine wave adjustment at the final stage for the absolute lowest noise and vibration. The new coupling between the three plinths improves resistive damping and reduces noise
