Van Medevoort CT333

Everything about it shows that vM leaves nothing to chance to guarantee the stability and tranquility of the soundstage. To begin with, the CT333 makes use of the more than excellent Teac VRDS CD drive mechanism. VRDS stands for 'Vibration-free Rigid Disc-clamping System', in which a heavy turntable holds the CD over the entire surface. This is in contrast to conventional turntables where the mechanism only grips the CD in the center. It is clear that VRDS ensures that the spor of pits on the disc is scanned with greater precision, because the CD behaves much more stably here. Since the advantage of a stable supply is immediately reflected in the listening experience, vM also pays a lot of attention to this aspect. Naturally, there is no rickety-looking cabinet here that bends in all directions with a slightly too firm approach. The basic chassis of the CT333 turntable consists of a 2mm thick galvanized steel plate, which is also completely covered with bituminous coating. In addition, some cabinet parts are double-layered and the brushed and beautifully looking front plate is extra sturdy. The whole looks not only solid because of this, but it actually is! We find the primary controls on the turntable itself, the other options can be accessed via the remote control. On the rear, an optical TOSlink as well as an electrical coaxial digital output found a place. Also take a look at the accompanying DAC-222.
