Turntables — Argon Audio Aurora

The Aurora is an accessible direct-drive turntable from Argon Audio, pre-fitted with the well-regarded Ortofon Concorde Music Blue cartridge. The Aurora brings Argon's considered engineering to a complete, ready-to-play analogue platform.

Key specs that matter

Three speeds are supported - 33, 45, and 78rpm - via direct drive. The turntable comes pre-installed with the well-regarded Ortofon Concorde Music Blue cartridge - a complete, factory-matched analogue front end. The platter uses aluminium with rubber damping. Signal-to-noise ratio is 65dB. At 450 x 366 x 153mm and 10.4kg, the Aurora maintains a manageable, accessible turntable chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect the stable, immediate character direct-drive turntables are broadly known for, with the comprehensive three-speed capability accommodating vintage 78rpm discs alongside standard vinyl.

Pairing

The pre-installed Ortofon Concorde Music Blue cartridge comes factory-matched, requiring no separate cartridge selection for immediate use.

Alternatives

Argon's own TT-3 PLUS offers a belt-drive alternative within the same broader turntable catalogue.
