The new DG-1S delivers higher resolution replay, greater dynamic contrasts and improved stereo separation with greater precision while at the same time keeping the musicality the original DG-1 was known for.

DG-1S comes with the new 5-ply Groove Runner S Tonearm, whose top and lower beams possess much higher acoustic linearity than their predecessor. Top and lower beams are bonded and riveted to ensure optimum rigidity combined with linear resistive damping. Couple the above with the inherent critical damping of the beam construction and you have an ideal platform to support your cartridge.

Groove Runner S Kevlar thread bearing is now adjustable for tension and azimuth. With the new Azimuth Adjustment Counterweight Screw, finer azimuth setting is made easier and more accurately to enhance cartridge performance.

DG-1S also utilises a higher tolerance matched main bearing with super-polished bearing spindle for ultra-smooth, noise-free running. The new bearing ensures even quieter background further enhancing dynamic range and resolution.

The new motor drive software facilitates a three step factory adjustment of the motor torque and noise setting with a final minimum noise adjustment. This new software allows an initial setting of the sine wave voltage and fixes it to establish the reference. A separate, independent cosine wave voltage setting with phase angle adjustment ensures lowest noise and vibration from the drive motor.
