Vertere Acoustics MG-1 Magic Groove Turntable - With Tempo Motor Drive

Vertere Acoustics MG-1 Magic Groove Turntable

A superlative design, Record Player MG-1 MkII Magic Groove offers remarkable performance that’s bettered only by Vertere’s RG-1 Reference Groove and SG-1 Standard Groove.

As with all Vertere turntables, every individual part is custom-built and has been created using the optimum materials and highest precision standards.

Vertere’s Record Player MG-1 Magic Groove has many critical aspects of its design based on the Vertere SG-1 high-performance record player. This has enabled the MG-1 to provide vinyl replay beyond what is possible from its class.Record Player MG-1 will realise the potential of any high-quality audio system. The MG-1 precision main bearing and platter assembly, belt-driven by the SG-1 motor system, ensure the smoothest running and provides a stable platform for the tonearm and cartridge.

This combination provides an exceptionally wide dynamic range with a ‘dark’ background that is only bettered by RG-1 or SG-1 record players. With its plinth structure and isolation system based on the SG-1, Record Player MG-1 is designed to be maintenance and setup-free. And the MG-1 with matching SG-1 tonearm and Motor Drive is a delight to use. Even in its standard form, with D-Fi tonearm cable and motor drive cable, the MG-1 provides a performance that is only bettered by the SG-1.

However, the upgradability that is built into this class-leading record player elevates its performance, step by step, closer to the SG-1. Upgrade the tonearm and motor drive cables from D-Fi to Pulse-B, to Pulse-R and all the way to Pulse-HB, to realise the true potential of the MG-1. Every step will provide an unparalleled musical experience and enjoyment that is only achievable from a Vertere record player.

Who are Vertere Acoustics?  

Vertere Acoustics’ ideology is simple and couldn’t be more true. It’s that any Hifi System is only as good as its weakest link. Everything, including the cables, tonearm and every part of their equipment, must be balanced and engineered with care, attention and passion, to get the absolute best from your favourite album.

Vertere engineers all of its products from the ground up, starting with the fundamentals of cutting and producing a record to get as close to the original recording as possible.

That may sound like a simple ‘less is more philosophy, but we prefer to look at it this way: the best audio equipment shouldn’t add anything to the original recording. Rather it should affect it as little as possible; bringing the listener ever closer to what the artist, producer and mastering engineer wanted you to hear.

Vertere Acoustics was founded by Touraj Moghaddam, designer of Roksan’s ever popular & infamous Xerxes turntable. Over the last decade, Touraj has been refining his designs to produce some of the world's finest turntables, with a frightening amount of time, effort and attention to detail put into each and everyone.
