This is a classic turntable combination in full working order, generally good condition noting a few minor age related blemishes. Supplied in original packaging along with our normal three month warranty. This turntable also comes with a Linn K5 Cartridge fitted but as we have no knowledge of its use or wear it is not covered in the warranty. Please note also that the information and specifications given below are that for the standard IIX and not the 900 model. To the best of our knowledge the differences were fairly minor when it comes to the specifications and involved a change in the shape of the armboard and a new main bearing was introduced.\u003cbr\u003e\nSystemdek Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen Systemdek Limited introduced the Model II turntable, it firmly established itself as the authority in offering a fully suspended turntable of audiophile quality at a price which had previously been unattainable. Now, after two years of refinement and further research (and, while others are just now attempting to fall in line with their “budget” turntables), we introduce the Systemdek IIX.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe IIX features an improved suspension system and is now housed in a wooden plinth that rivals any top-of-the-line transcription deck. The suspension includes a pre-set, three point system in which the floating subchassis is now hung on the springs (as opposed to compressing them), resulting in greater stability and eliminating speed variations. Furthermore, the springs have been moved outside the perimeter of the platter, allowing fine tuning from the top while a record is playing. No other “budget” turntable, in fact few at any price, offers this kind of dynamic adjustment to optimize one’s disc retrieval system. Simplicity of set-up makes the IIX even more attractive, as does the newly designed plinth'. Constructed with MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) for correct resonance in conjunction with the floating system, the unit is finished with fine afromosia veneers and is supplied with dustcover. Proven concepts from Systemdek, such as the machined-in-house glass platterremain as integral parts of the IIX, as do the two-speed pulley (driven by a 24-pole synchronous motor) and removeable tonearm mounting board. With or without tonearm, the Systemdek IIX represents a refined, second generation turntable whose features and sonic merits set new standards for the budget-minded audiophile.\u003cbr\u003e\nDrive method: belt drive\u003cbr\u003e\nMotor: 24 pole precision synchronous high torque motor mounted on an anti-vibration assembly\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeeds: 33 and 45rpm (manual change)\u003cbr\u003e\nDrive system: precision ground flat rubber belt\u003cbr\u003e\nPlatter: Glass 1.73 kg, 10 mm thick\u003cbr\u003e\nRecord mat: high density lamb’s wool\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeed drift: nil\u003cbr\u003e\nVariation under load: 0.15%\u003cbr\u003e\nWow and flutter: 0.09% DIN\u003cbr\u003e\nRumble: 78\/77 dB DIN weighted\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 475 (W) x 375 (D) x 200 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 10.0 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51193741312341,"sku":"2X6540","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_5981-scaled_6c24fd4c-f201-44b6-92f6-08c44a0f1171.jpg?v=1753886961","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/systemdek-iix-900-turntable-rega-rb300-tonearm-black","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
