Description

Enjoy the Music.com has just reviewed this new product from China'a only and best turntable manufacturer - Opera Consonance. It received 4.5 out of 5 grading on value for the money!

First shipment of stock is on the way to Canada - we are taking pre-orders for 25% off MSRP C$1450 now until Dec 5th.

Opera-Consonance LP6.1 is designed with high performance in mind but at an very affordable price. If you own an old turntable and plan to upgrade with a modest budget, the Opera-Consonance LP 6.1 should definitely be on your list to check out.

Opera-Consonance is a top turntable manufacturer out of China - their flagship Droplet LP 5.0 has been praised by many magazines worldwide and even won the Enjoy The Music.com Blue Note Award in 2005. The latest LP 6.1 has shares some design concept with the Droplet 5.0 for high performance but the LP 6.1 is constructed at a far more modest budget.

The Opera-Consonance LP6.1 is an excellent option for consumers who want both performance and budget. You will have best of the both worlds :)

The Opera-Consonance LP6.1 package includes plinth, platter, tonearm and an anti-vibration system.

The platter is made of white acrylic with a foam record mat on top to absord vibration. Bearing is of low noise design. Japanese low noise DC motor is connected to the platter with nylon fishing line to minimize vibration transmission and maximize accuracy. The frame of the turntable is made of solid aluminum. It definitely gets the high end yet not-complicated look. The color combination of white acrylic and black base will work well with all types of audio furnitures and your other equipment.

The LP6.1 comes with Opera-Consonance's self designed Consonance 9" T988 tonearm. It has borrowed some features from the flagship ST600 arm (retail close to $2000) but was implemented in an effective and affordable way. With the oil damped pivot the T988 arm can accept almost all types of MM and MC cartridges with no difficulty, heavy or light cartridges without any any problem. This arm is not only affordable, but also request a low set up time so that you can enjoy it quickly after purchasing it. It has a clean look - there are no extra 'gadgets' to get in the way.

Features of the T988 tonearm:

Single rounded point unipivot bearing
Carbon fibre arm tube
Oil damping and low mass, excellent for MC cartridges.
Separate adjustments for VTA and Azimuth
Easy anti-skating adjustment

LP6.1 net measurement is 39cm wide x 35 cm deep x 13cm high. Net weight is 9kg (approx 20 lbs).

This product comes with Grant Fidelity 2-year parts and labor warranty.

If you wish to use a 12" tonearm (T1288 - a variation from the T988 arm), the plinth can be easily re-assembled to fit the extended arm length without extra cost. The extra 12" tonearm shaft can be purchased separately for US$210.
