Acoustic Solid of Germany, sometimes also referred to as Wirth Tonmaschinenbau GmbH have been manufacturing turntables for almost 10 years. From small acorns grow large Oaks, well this is how we view Acoustic Solid.
The quality of their workmanship is superb, and the family run business with 2 generations working together have enviable complimentary skills. Karl Wirth and his son-in-law Bruno, design and manufacture all the turntables themselves, in their new purpose built facility in the heart of Rural Germany. Their range is as extensive as their knowledge on how to get the most out of a given design. Using outboard "string" drives on all of the turntables, rumble is kept to an absolute minimum, whilst wow and flutter are controlled by the mass of the platter and the exquisitely designed bearing, cast and molded by Karl. All turntables are hand made just as with our British manufacturers, this means a precise fit to all parts even if a very slight variability between decks can be noticed if several identical models are put next to each other, but then this is a luxury only a distributor or manufacturer will see, and to you the end user you are getting a turntable that has had Karl and Bruno each put there own time and effort into to bring you a turntable that is worthy of your hard earned pennies. |
