The “Titan I” turntable by Delta Audio stands out in the high-end market by addressing the critical challenges of vibration, speed stability, tonearm precision, bearing quality, and isolation. Its innovative design and high-quality materials ensure superior audio performance, while its aesthetic appeal and customization options make it a desirable addition to any audiophile’s collection. By combining technical excellence with a strong brand heritage, the “Titan I” justify its premium price and sets a new standard in the world of high-end turntables.
Mastery Over Vibrations and Resonance:
Titan I’s design begins with its substantial weight and solid construction. Weighing in at 27 kg, the turntable’s mass helps to stabilize it, reducing the impact of external vibrations. The plinth, made from a 70mm thick solid aluminum, provides a robust and inert base that dampens internal resonances. The 25mm thick aluminum platter further contributes to this solidity, ensuring that vibrations are minimized. The combination of these materials and their thoughtful engineering provides a stable platform that isolates the delicate process of vinyl playback from external interferences.
Electronic and DC Motor Control – Speed Stability and Control:
Titan I, addresses speed stability through its sophisticated electronic controller and high-precision DC motor. The turntable’s motor is electronically controlled by a custom-developed PCB, which includes a precision microprocessor. This system ensures that the platter’s rotation speed is consistently accurate, with deviations of less than ±0.1%. The motor control circuit converts the AC mains voltage to a perfect DC wave, and a photodetector combined with an optical encoder disk monitors the rotation 108 times per revolution. This setup ensures that the platter maintains a constant speed under all conditions, eliminating the issues of wow and flutter that plague lesser turntables.
Precision in Tonearm and Cartridge Alignment:
The Titan I comes equipped with a Linn type tonearm and MM phono cartridge, both renowned for their precision and audio fidelity. The tonearm mounting plates are adjustable, accommodating tonearms between 208-250 PSD (9-10 inches), which allows users to customize their setup according to their preferences. This flexibility ensures that the cartridge aligns perfectly with the record grooves, minimizing tracking errors and optimizing sound reproduction. Additionally, the three adjustable aluminum-coated feet allow for simple micro adjustments, ensuring the turntable remains perfectly level, further enhancing tracking precision.
Superior Bearing Quality:
The heart of the Titan I’s performance is its hybrid bearing system. Manufactured from special hardened and polished steel, the bearing includes a hard tungsten carbide ball at its base and bronze inserts. The unique magnetic pillow design eliminates hard mechanical thrust between the shaft and the bottom of the bearing, resulting in very low noise and friction. This innovative approach ensures that the platter rotates smoothly and quietly, providing a stable and silent platform for the stylus to trace the record grooves accurately.
Advanced Isolation Techniques:
Delta Audio has implemented several isolation techniques in the Titan I to minimize the impact of external vibrations. The heavy aluminum plinth and platter provide a stable base that absorbs and dissipates vibrations. Additionally, the adjustable feet not only allow for precise leveling but also serve as isolation points, further reducing the transmission of external vibrations to the platter and tonearm. This comprehensive approach to vibration isolation ensures that the Titan I delivers the purest possible audio signal.
Aesthetic Appeal and Customization:
Delta Audio understands that high-end turntables are not just about performance but also about making a statement through design. The Titan I is designed with both form and function in mind. The solid aluminum construction is not only effective in reducing vibrations but also provides a sleek, modern appearance that appeals to audiophiles. The option for custom arm boards allows users to tailor the turntable to their specific tonearm preferences, enhancing the overall user experience. Available in anodized black gloss and silver, for the beginning, the Titan I can be further customized to fit the aesthetic preferences of the user.
