With a relatively small weight, the player is reliably protected from vibrations and parasitic resonances. The chassis of the device is 30 mm thick and is shaped to frame the engine and disk bearing, helping to dampen unwanted vibrations. The 20mm thick support plate is made of a composite sandwich material based on HDF and POM, which further dampen and reduce vibration.

The engine of the device is equipped with a special speed stabilization system, which uses high torque and a gradual decrease in intensity to prevent parasitic vibration of the engine. The player is equipped with a proprietary nine-inch Gold Note B-5 tonearm, which perfectly suits this model and its features. The player body is finished in an impressive black lacquer.
