ARCO 40 TURNTABLE Stein Music, January 22, 2025

The SteinMusic Arco 40 Anniversary Turntable was created to let you enjoy music in its purest form. Every detail has been carefully designed to eliminate interference and deliver unparalleled sonic precision and natural musicality. This masterpiece combines over 40 years of expertise in high-end HiFi development.

The platter, crafted from an innovative wood-metal sandwich with elegant cherry wood veneers, provides exceptional resonance control. Paired with the precise and smooth-running double bearing, it ensures impressive rotational stability, allowing even the finest details to come alive.

Another standout feature is the 10″ tonearm, made from a part of a violin bow. This unique material choice surpasses carbon and wood variants, enabling unmatched tonal accuracy. The handmade copper tonearm cable, crafted from over 50-year-old copper and free of sound-altering plastic insulation, ensures a pure and uncolored signal transmission.

The turntable is powered by a Swiss precision motor from Maxon. A specially developed controller, in combination with an ultra-thin, waxed, and silver-plated nylon belt, ensures absolute speed consistency and gentle power transmission.

The result is a listening experience that impresses with its naturalness, accuracy, and precision – timeless, exclusive, and limited to just 20 pieces.

INNOVATIVE MATERIAL COMBINATION

A platter crafted from a wood-metal sandwich with cherry wood veneers for exceptional resonance control and natural sound reproduction.

UNIQUE TONEARM

Violin bow technology for precise signal tracking and superior tonal performance compared to carbon and wood variants.

PRECISION DRIVE

Swiss Maxon motor with a specially developed controller and silver-plated nylon belt for consistent operation and perfect timing.

HANDMADE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

Tonearm cable made from over 50-year-old copper, free from plastic insulation, for uncolored and pure signal transfer.

PERFECT RESONANCE CONTROL THROUGH INNOVATIVE MATERIAL SELECTION

The platter and its base are crafted from 19-ply laminated plywood, aged for over 25 years, and refined with elegant 2 mm thick cherry wood veneers.

This material choice leverages the natural damping properties of wood to reduce vibrations and ensure an uncolored, authentic sound reproduction.

The platter itself combines the benefits of wood and metal in a sandwich construction, reinforced with an additional 2.5 mm thick metal plate. With a total weight of 2000 grams, it enhances inertia and effectively minimizes micro-vibrations, resulting in smooth and stable operation.

PRECISE BEARING FOR EFFORTLESS OPERATION

The precise double bearing of the platter ensures minimal resistance and exceptional smoothness. Even after being powered off, the platter continues to run for over four minutes from 33 1/3 RPM.

This remarkable efficiency guarantees that no irregularities interfere with sound quality, contributing to an accurate and detailed playback experience.

SWISS PRECISION FOR CONSISTENT DRIVE

The turntable is powered by a Swiss precision motor from Maxon, complemented by a specially developed controller. This combination ensures perfectly consistent rotational speed, allowing the music to play in its natural timing.

An ultra-thin, waxed, and silver-plated nylon thread serves as the drive belt, transferring power gently and precisely while avoiding disturbances like slipping or irregularities.

UNCOMPROMISING SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

The handmade tonearm cable is crafted from over 50-year-old individually insulated copper, further shielded with a copper braid. Plastic insulation was deliberately omitted to keep the signal flow as pure as possible.

This design preserves even the finest musical nuances, ensuring an uncolored and authentic sound transmission.

UNIQUE 10″ TONEARM FOR VIBRANT PLAYBACK

A standout feature is the 10″ tonearm, crafted from a violin bow. This exceptional material choice enables precise resonance control, surpassing carbon and wood variants in direct sound comparisons.

Paired with a precision balance from watchmaking, which supports the tonearm in a unipivot bearing, this design offers maximum stability and freedom of movement. The cartridge is guided with such accuracy that even the finest details of the music are reproduced with vibrant authenticity.
