Est. year: 2009
Soulines is a Serbian turntable maker based in Belgrade, set up by a small team of trained musicians with recording, mixing and restoration experience and mechanical engineers. It grew out of tt recycled, a turntable upgrade and redesign service the founders started in mid-2009, and became a brand in its own right in 2011 with the Hermes DCX deck. Today it builds belt-drive turntables, its own tonearm and a set of matching accessories, and also takes custom projects.
Range & what it's known for
The current range has four decks. The tt9 and the newer tt23, launched in August 2025, are compact models with a cast acrylic and POM plinth sitting on an aluminium sub-plinth coupled at three points. The tt9 has a 30 mm, 2.6 kg platter and the tt23 a 40 mm, 3.5 kg one. The Kubrick DCX, styled after the film 2001 A Space Odyssey, uses an aluminium plinth and takes exchangeable armboards for 9 inch SME and Rega-type arms. The tt42 heads the lineup with a 60 mm, 5.4 kg laminated platter, a brushless DC motor and room for a second arm pod. The KiVi M3 is the brand's own tonearm. Plinth proportions are worked out with the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence so that mass sits over the bearing axis.
Who owns it and where it's made
Soulines is a private, founder-run company with its workshop and office at Koce Kapetana street in Belgrade. Design, machining work and assembly are handled there by the same engineers and musicians who started tt recycled. All models share an inverted bearing machined from solid stainless steel with a brass sleeve and a Delrin thrust pad. Earlier decks named after composers and writers, such as the Elgar, Dostoyevsky and Satie DCX, have been retired in favour of the numbered models.
The lineup in this catalog
Turntables, including the tt23 with its cast acrylic platter and DC motor, and the tt9 fixed-chassis deck with the KiVi tonearm.
Who it's for
Soulines is a fit for a record collector after a compact belt-drive deck that sets up without special tools, comes with a dust cover, clamp and alignment protractor, and has a fine speed adjustment for 33 and 45 rpm. The tt9 is the base model, the tt23 adds a heavier platter, and the Kubrick DCX and tt42 are the steps for owners who want to fit a 12 inch or second tonearm.
