Its superbly crafted turntables are handmade in the Black Forest, southwest Germany, in the same factory where renowned German turntable brands have built their tables for decades.
VANA Ltd has been appointed as the exclusive distributor for North America and will offer the Rekkord Audio range at prices within reach of all vinyl lovers.
Every Rekkord TT is assembled by hand and carefully adjusted to achieve exemplary sound quality, reliability and unit-to-unit consistency. Rekkord turntable and tonearm designs benefit from nearly half a century of German precision engineering. Its production expertise is a legacy of precision machining and clock-making, predating the gramophone's invention (the founders' original factory opened in 1907).
Continuously refined over the past five decades, the company says its "automatic turntable mechanism has no equal in terms of performance and longevity". Rekkord offers a wide array of fully-automatic or semi-automatic operation across its product range, with products starting below $400 MSRP, with Model F 100P ($399 MSRP) outfitted with Audio Technica's excellent AT3600L Phono Cartridge and integral Phono Preamp.
Rekkord also tells us that the superiority of its products is thanks to the finest component parts. It says 99% of the components used in its turntables are manufactured within a 25-mile radius of its factory in St. Georgen. Having made precision turntable parts for decades, Rekkord's suppliers are ideal production partners. The company's higher-range tables utilize a massless (dynamic) downforce adjustment which optimizes the center of gravity directly at the bearing center. This configuration is said to "improve tracking and mitigates the deleterious effects of an imperfectly leveled table". The core of this massless system is a carefully manufactured spring design, which has its roots in watchmaking.
Dealer enquiries are welcome, and the Rekkord Audio turntable range is available now.
