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 B-Sharp player uses the same design features as the C-Major model. At the same time, B-Sharp has lost all the minor cosmetic decorations of C-Major — without compromising on sound quality or mechanical integrity, providing excellent playback quality at a more affordable price.
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.
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.
