Turntables — TechDAS Air Force 20

The Air Force 20 is a flagship air-bearing turntable from TechDAS, a Japanese manufacturer known for uncompromising precision engineering, built with a substantial SUS316L stainless steel platter and a separate outboard power supply. The Air Force 20 brings TechDAS' most accomplished current engineering to a serious flagship-tier analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive using an AC motor. The platter is SUS316L stainless steel, chosen for exceptional dimensional stability and resonance control. Wow and flutter is an exceptionally low 0.03%. The main unit and its separate power supply measure 628 x 515 x 19mm and 430 x 460 x 144mm respectively, weighing 100kg (main) plus 17kg (PSU) - a substantial commitment reflecting TechDAS' flagship-tier air-bearing engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally stable, precise rotation reflecting the exceptionally low 0.03% wow-and-flutter figure combined with the substantial 100kg main chassis, representing TechDAS' absolute flagship-tier current turntable engineering ambition.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm tonearm and cartridge compatibility directly with TechDAS or an authorised dealer to complete this turntable's analogue front end.

Alternatives

TechDAS' own Air Force IV offers a considerably more compact alternative within the same broader air-bearing turntable catalogue.
