WILSON BENESCH - FULL CIRCLE TURNTABLE W - PLY MC CARTRIDGE 2.5MV OUTPUT

WILSON BENESCH/FULL CIRCLE PACKAGE

This Complete Table/Tonearm/Cartridge Combination is a Killer Deal... and it Looks So Sexy!

Wison Benesch has come up with a stunning turntable/arm/cartridge package! The brainchild of designer Craig Milnes, the Full Circle turntable features a uni-directional carbon fiber suspension to provide an ultra quiet and smooth sound. The Wison Benesch Act 0.5 Tonearm takes its cue from the ACT-2 with its revolutionary fully molded composite carbon fiber arm tube and unique Kinematic bearing system making it one of the quietest designs around. Matched with the musicality and neutrality of their pre-installed Ply Cartridge, the Full Circle is a smart combination of technology and great sound in a compact design. A musicdirect exlusive!

'Put all these qualities together and you’ve got a great-looking, highly accomplished analog rig that takes you far beyond entry-level sound at a more than fair price. In my eyes, the Full Circle passes the “show me better for less” test with flying colors, in that I can’t really name a superior-sounding alternative that would sell for less than $3499!”
- Chris Martens, The Absolute Sound, August 2006

Check out this upgraded Carbon Fiber Platter Mat that looks perfect with this table: The Speed Mat.

The Full Circle

Advanced materials used throughout.

Totally unique design concept.

Low mass design.

Immensely stiff uni-directional carbon fibre rods used in the principle structural components.

High tolerance phosphor bronze plain bearing with tool steel spindle.

The Ply - moving coil cartridge

The ply is the perfect starting point for the circle, complimenting as it does the advance materials technology used in both the tonearm and the turntable.

The Ply is a derivitive of the Matrix cartridge.

The ply is sold as part of the Full Circle Package.

The maintenance costs are excellent.

The net result is a robust design that provides no unnecessary frills. What is achieved is maximum performance at a highly competitive price.

The A.C.T. 0.5 - tonearm

The Wilson Benesch a.c.t. 0.5 tonearm is derived from the world's most advanced tonearm, the Wilson Benesch a.c.t. two.

Unique Kinematic bearing.
Exhibits stiction free operation.
Will last indefinitely.
Every one sounds the same.
Unaffected by temprature.
Dynamic damping is a batural function of the design.
High pressure contact points between all moving surfaces.

Unique counterbalance arrangement.
Provides non compliant counter mass.
Provides azimuth adjustments.
Provides bearing stabilisation.

Unique sound unlike any metal (conventional) product.

Carbon tube

Torsionally 10 times stiffer than titanium.
Half the mass of aluminium.
5 times the specific stiffness of steel.
Order of magnitude better damping than most engineering metals.
