Built with a strong focus on mechanical accuracy, resonance control and long-term stability, STST designs use heavy mass construction, advanced bearing systems and carefully damped materials to maximise vinyl playback performance. The brand’s turntables are engineered to minimise unwanted vibration and maintain highly stable rotation, delivering a detailed, controlled and natural analogue sound. At Spinning Room HiFi, STST turntables are available to hear and compare in-store.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"stst-motus-ii-dq-suspended-low-torque-direct-drive-turntable-sts-mts-ii-dq1","title":"STST Motus ii non suspended low torque direct drive turntable","description":"\u003cp\u003eSTST Motus II Direct Drive Turntable\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STST Motus II is a high-end direct drive turntable designed and manufactured in Germany by Stefan Strohmetz.
