Giro MK II
Further development of the entry-level model from the AMG family as a result of meticulous detail work. Sound dynamics and spatial depth show clear improvements compared to the predecessor.
The platter has gained more mass and with its 5.6 kg, together with the newly developed platter-subplatter interface, ensures significantly improved synchronization stability and convincing auditory performance.
The adaptation of the belt transmission also contributes to this. The ultra-quiet Swiss drive motor runs in its ideal speed range, has been fitted with new damping elements and operates almost inaudibly.
In the platter bearing, the manufacturing tolerances have been optimized in the micrometer range, and makes from other manufacturers can now be easily applied to the newly added tonearm base.
In addition to the aesthetic design, the extremely convenient operation via capacitive touch keys has been retained; here, the fine adjustment of speeds 33, 33 and 45 can also be carried out completely without tools.
AMG’s typical genes, such as the decoupled spindle/bearing design in high-precision execution and the visible and tangible material and workmanship quality are a matter of course in the updated model.
