Low-mass straight tonearm
Up-front controls
Auto return convenience and pitch control
Sharing many features with JVC's more advanced turntables is the L-A31. like every other JVC turntable, it has the JVC-exclusive cog-free coreless DC servo motor to smooth rotation and deliver high torque, and our FG direct-drive system to maintain speed accuracy. Rotational speed is constantly adjusted against any variations, whatever the cause. Our low-mass straight tonearm is consistent with current thoughts on the subject; low-mass improves tracking, allowing the use of even quality high-compliance cartridges. Its straight design further reduces mass and increases rigidity. Resonance is optimally just above warp frequencies while remaining below audible frequencies and our ultra-light non-resonating headshell is included. Operation is simple, convenient and smooth. Controls are up-front, outside the closed dust cover - even arm cueing. Cueing and end-of-play auto return are two amenities added to protect records and stylus. Record handling is reduced to a minimum. Other features are the built-in strobe and a pitch control for "tuning" your records. We're sure that feature for feature and spec for spec, there isn't a finer turntable available.
