Turntables — Luphonic Model R2

The Model R2 is a belt-drive turntable from Luphonic, sharing the Model H2's distinctive solid-surface-material platter and Luphonic K2 tonearm within a somewhat taller chassis. The Model R2 brings Luphonic's considered engineering to a complete analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive. The turntable comes pre-installed with the Luphonic K2 tonearm, matching the Model H2. The platter uses the same distinctive solid surface material, measuring 24mm in height. At 440 x 350 x 120mm and 10kg, the Model R2 shares a similar footprint to the Model H2 with a somewhat different profile.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally stable, precise rotational speed reflecting the distinctive solid-surface-material platter's resonance-optimised construction, matching the Model H2's engineering standards.

Pairing

The pre-installed Luphonic K2 tonearm comes factory-matched, requiring only a cartridge selection for immediate use.

Alternatives

Luphonic's own Model H2 offers a related model within the same broader turntable catalogue.
