The Systemdek II was a well-regarded unit that we believe was launched in 1983 and our example is in good condition for its age - please refer to photographs. It is fitted with the Linn Basik LVX tonearm, Goldring Elan cartridge and will be professionally packaged along with our normal three month warranty. Please note this warranty does not cover the fitted cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\nSystemdek Said….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Dunlop Systemdek is a two speed belt drive transcription turntable incorporating numerous new acoustic engineering design features to provide a signal source of uncompromising high performance.\u003cbr\u003e\nBorrowing many of the design features from the Systemdek III, this completely new concept of a budget turntable provides an unsurpassed opportunity for audiophiles to experience the immense benefits that a properly engineered signal source will provide.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nMotor: 24 Pole precision synchronous high torque motor mounted on an antivibration assembly\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Source: 220 - 250 V 50 Hz or 110 - 125 V 60 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption: 3.3 VA approx.\u003cbr\u003e\nMains Switch: Double Pole with noise suppressor and neon indicator.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeeds: 33 and 45 rpm (manual change)\u003cbr\u003e\nDrive System: Precision ground flat rubber belt\u003cbr\u003e\nStart-up: 2 seconds to audible stabilisation\u003cbr\u003e\nPlatter: Glass 1.73 kg - 10 mm thick\u003cbr\u003e\nRecord Matt: High density lambswool\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeed Drift: Nil.\u003cbr\u003e\nVariation Under Load: 0.15% Ref. 1 hr\u003cbr\u003e\nWow and Flutter: 0.09% Din PK weighted\u003cbr\u003e\nRumble: 78\/77 Din ‘B’ weighted\u003cbr\u003e\nHum Level: 72 dB Din ‘B’ weighted\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 425 (W) x 302 (D) x 112 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 4.79 kg\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn Said….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Linn Basik Plus and Basik LV-X were designed according to many of the same criteria as the Linn Ittok LV-II. The Basik arms are intended to provide substantially better performance than has heretofore been available in a moderately priced tonearm, and will outperform arms which are vastly more expensive. They are the obvious choice for use on the Linn Sondek turntable, where monetary or other considerations preclude the use of the Ittok. They mount on the same armboard template as the Ittok, making a later upgrade extremely easy. They are also compatible with most transcription turntables, but it is well to remember that the turntable is by far the most important component. In our experience a Linn Basik tonearm with its original cartridge mounted on a Linn Sondek turntable will outperform a Linn Ittok tonearm with an Asak cartridge, mounted on any other turntable.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Basik arms incorporate full gimbal ball bearings, and a large diameter straight arm tube. The Basik Plus utilizes a non-detachable headshell. The Basik LV-X incorporates a special detachable headshell which uses a C-clamping arrangement. This approach allows the headshell junction to be almost as rigid as a non-detachable type, at the cost of a slight increase of the effective mass of the arm.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Basik Arms are suitable for use with a wide range of magnetic cartridges. The Basik Plus, with its more rigid non-detachable headshell, is suitable for use with a variety of moving coil cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nLinn Basik LV-X Tonearm\u003cbr\u003e\nEffective Mass: 12 g\u003cbr\u003e\nTracking Force: 0 to 3 g\u003cbr\u003e\nCartridge Weight: 2 to 10 g\u003cbr\u003e\nEffective Length: 230 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nOverhang: 18 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nMounting Distance: 211 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51193797247317,"sku":"2-200934","price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_6685-scaled_0d51f2ed-c013-457b-b0a9-e8f534bd8ace.jpg?v=1753888144","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/systemdek-ii-turntable-linn-basik-lvx-tonearm","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
