Dear friends, customers, and followers,
We are happy to let you know that we have recently received the production batch of parts—after a significant three-month delay and a logistical nightmare where packages were opened for inspection and a lot of parts were damaged, in some cases affecting the entire batch.
While we can now work with the good parts to continue production, we are still waiting for the replacement parts to complete all units.
During this time since launch, we have taken the opportunity to refine and optimize many aspects of the Silence turntable. Here are some of the most notable upgrades since the introduction:
- Gold-plated brass cartridge tags upgraded to our Silence Pure Silver cartridge tags
- Split, softer external Silence Cuprum line, tonearm silver plated copper wiring for each channel and separate grounding
- Improved tonearm and turntable internal grounding connector to EC-3 standard
- Tonearm RCA connectors upgraded from gold-plated to silver-plated brass
- Cartridge updated from AT-3600L conical stylus to AT-VM95E elliptical stylus MM cartridge
- Static VTA adjuster screw added for precise vertical tracking angle adjustment
- Tonearm lock screw upgraded from M3 to M4 for improved arm locking strength
- Tonearm base plate thickened from 6mm to 8mm, now including an arm pillar guide tube for improved vertical alignment during VTA adjustments
- Arm pillar shape changed from round (2-point) to 3-point contact for improved stability
- Visible scale added to the anti-skating adjuster screw
- Anti-skating magnetic circuit optimized for a broader double-exponential 0.05gf to 0.5gf adjustment range
- Top-access Allen keys added to simplify Azimuth adjustments
- Platter-bearing interface now includes an O-ring to eliminate residual play from g6/H7 slide fit tolerances
- Tonearm lift shaft now includes O-rings to prevent silicone damping fluid leakage
- PSU and control unit redesigned to accommodate a toroidal transformer with ultra-low stray magnetic field, allowing safe placement near the turntable
- Silence PMAC 2232 custom designed and assembled in-house slide bearing AC motors
We truly believe these enhancements with its exceptional finish bring the Silence TT-1 turntable closer to perfection within this price range—and we are thrilled to share this journey with you.
Thank you for your patience and continued support—we can’t wait for you to experience the final product.
Silence Team
