One of the key factors in the high weight of the turntable is a massive support disc made of aluminum by milling on a CNC machine and equipped with integrated TPE damping.
The model is characterized by the use of a heavy aluminum support disc, a high-density fiberboard body, and a bearing with extremely low tolerances. The table is covered with eight layers of varnish, and a removable dust cover is included.
The player is designed for those who need additional features, but who don't want to spend a fortune. The C-Sharp turntable was used as a model for the C-Major. The plate is lighter, and the speed control is done manually rather than electronically. However, the tonearm is really something that could be seen on a more expensive turntable, so E.A.T. invested money in it, even though it is 1 inch shorter than the tonearm in the C-Sharp.
The turntable is equipped with a low-noise, fully vibration-proof motor and has a low rumble level. The player's body is supported by three shock-absorbing and height-adjustable aluminum supports, which ensure the perfect horizontal position of the table and minimize vibrations.
Carbon fiber and thermoplastic elastomer (TEP) were used in the design of the model, and the base is made of MDF. The manufacturer pays special attention to the "ultra-quiet" motor and 10 damper legs made of TEP. Among other elements, a drive belt made of antistatic rubber is distinguished. According to EAT, the tonearm combines the advantages of single-bearing and ball bearings (silicone grease is involved). The tube of the tonearm is made of carbon fiber, and the shell is made of aluminum.
