The design and creation of the ATLANTIS turntable is the result of years in experimentation, study and research into the kinematic behaviour of the system as well as extensive listening and direct comparison with the other world-famous machines. The ATLANTIS was constructed by people who love music.

Many new generation turntables have adopted a system of air suspension in order to eliminate noise and the wear caused by physical contact between the moving parts of the spindle and the thrust bearing, but the platter's horizontal support has remained more or less of the traditional type with brass bearings or teflon supports.

The ATLANTIS represents a real step forward in the history of turntable design. For the first time contact between the spindle and the bearing assembly has been completely eliminated. By interposing a fine layer of compressed air between them and replacing the traditional thrust bearing with a vertical cusion, friction has been almost totally eliminated further increasing the turntable's rotational stability and precision as well as drastically supressin the various forms of vibration present in traditional systems.

The spindle is approximately 40mm in diameter, made of special martensitic stainless steel has been hardened and stabilized and machined to tolerances of shape and position of less than one micron; the precision of the platter's radio-axial rotation is approximately 1.5 microns. To date, no other front end machine we have compared ATLANTIS to has achieved results like these.

The suspension system has been designed to achieve natural stability of the sub-chassis. A complex system of the horizontal-vertical anchorage employing 54 special rubber rings has made possible almost total isolation from external vibrations and low sensitivity to acoustic feedback
