Vertere Announced The DG-1S Dynamic Groove Record Player

British audio company Vertere announced a new entry, the DG-1S.

It hasn’t been that long since Vertere dropped the Phono-1 MkII L. Now we have something to look forward to. A new and improved version of the award-winning Vertere DG-1. Here’s what you need to know about the Vertere DG-1S.

Improvements On The Vertere DG-1S

According to Vertere, the DG-1S delivers higher resolution replay, greater dynamic contrasts, and improved stereo separation with greater precision while at the same time keeping DG-1’s musicality.

Improved platter bearing: The precision machining and polishing operations have a higher tolerance with the variation halved statistically. The super smooth finish bore with the precision Tungsten Carbide interference fit ball delivers lower noise, lower rumble, a lower effort for the motor, and less rotational variability.

Groover Runner S Tonearm: The arm beam is now constructed from a five-layer polymer laminate bonded to a second five-layer polymer laminate. The PCB flex signal carrier is bonded in between the two laminates. The profile of the arm and bearing has improved the counterweight/bearing/headshell/cartridge alignment.

Improved Tone Arm Bearings: The Vertical Kevlar thread bearing is now adjustable for tension and azimuth. The Horizontal nylon thread bearing is now fitted with greater precision to ensure even greater consistency.

New Motordrive Software: It allows separate adjustment in two steps, initially the sine wave voltage and then the cosine wave adjustment at the final stage for the absolute lowest noise and vibration.

Release Date Of The Vertere DG-1S

The DG-1S hits distributors in September 2022.
