Stelvio Mk II
Galibier Stelvio - Platinum Gray Metallic
The Stelvio name is reserved for our no-compromise turntable – the application of everything we’ve learned about drive systems and energy management, incorporating principles of mass, damping - where material science and art meet.
Feature Overview
We know of no platter design in current production with as sophisticated a damping strategy as the one we employ. Click the thumbnail photos (at the bottom) for detailed descriptions, but in summary:
The 44.5 pound composite (TPI ©) platter:
Polished Finish
- Is based on aluminum carrier which has damping chambers filled with lead and oil.
- Has a central, 14 pound brass layer.
- Is topped off with a 1/4" thick top layer of carbon fiber (the TPI © layer).
- The entire assembly is constrained by 60 stainless steel screws. Assembling it is a labor of love.
Our bearing will outlive your children's children, and our world-class drive system with its rigid belt makes for a turntable that brings the best of belt drive, idler, and direct-drive into a single package.
The Stelvio base employs the same damping concepts as our platter design. It has has a complex matrix of damping channels which form a two-way vibration sink: isolating the bearing from stand and shelf borne vibration, while damping the vibration loop from the stylus through the arm and armboard from passing through the base, bearing and platter (eliminating the feedback loop).
Dual Armboards have Vernier-adjustable pivot to spindle capability, which allows for precise adjustment that exceeds your magnification tools. The adjustment range is sufficient to permit experimentation with alternate geometries.
Born in the U.S.A.
Your Stelvio is fabricated right here in Colorado, where we monitor every step of the manufacturing process.
