C.E.C. ST-530

 The ST-530 is gracefully slim lines Direct Drive fully  automatic turntable.

Rotation accuracy is a leading feature of the 20-pole 30-slot direct-drive motor which is the heart of this fully automatic turntable. Pushbutton operations are all performed at the front panel and there is no need to lift the dust cover.

Slimlines without acoustic feedback.

A slim cabinet was made possible by special design of the motor and its installation. The independent suspension will not allow button operation to influence platter stability. The sturdy and hefty base plate keeps the motor in position and vibration is not transmitted.

All front operation and fully automatic operation.

Cueing and all other operations are performed from the front panel and there is no need to open the dust cover except to change records. All you need to do is place your favorite record on the platter and push the buttons. Play is then fully automatic ftom cueing to arm return followed by power off.

 Low Mass Straight Tonearm.

The slim, low mass, straight tonearm of this high quality turntable is ideally matched. The pivot head has a horizontal axle and high precision steel ball bearings for the ultimate in smooth operation.

Oil-damped cueing.

Your valuable records can be damaged if the needle strikes the record when it is cued. This is eliminated with oil-damped cueing as the stylus comes to rest in the groove so gently it does not have any impact shock at all.

High cost performance

High performance has been incorporated into this turntable while great efforts were amde to keep cost down. The result is a low cost high performance turntable that can satisfy the demands of the most particular user.
