Vertere Releases Challenger DC Power Supply Upgrade
Owners of Vertere's award-winning DG-1 Turntable and Tempo Motor Drive will be pleased to learn of the company's new Challenger dedicated DC power supply upgrade.
Challenger is a 100-240 VAC, 50~60 Hz, 30 VDC output (2.17A) power supply that is said to be the result of countless hours of testing and investigative listening. It provided clean power that is stable and free from interference to ensure the motor drives operate at their optimum.
Challenger is supplied with a standard mains cable or the Challenger Redline Package, which includes a Redline mains cable for further enhanced performance. Redline mains cable can be fitted with UK, Europe, US, Swiss and Australian plugs.
According to Vertere:
The music we hear when playing vinyl records, in reality, comes from the motor! The motor is the only source of energy in the system. It is this energy that drives the record past the stylus thus making the music we hear. Any amount of noise or fluctuation in the drive system will adversely impact on the music. Detail, dynamics, timbre, timing and musicality are just some of the qualities that will suffer as a result.
Vertere Challenger is available now in two different options - Challenger with standard mains cables (AUD $725 / NZD $795) and Challenger with Redline mains cable (AUD $1,795 / NZD $1,995).

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
