Turntables — Kanto Audio Obi3

The Obi3 is a belt-drive turntable from Kanto Audio, built with a factory-fitted Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge for straightforward setup. The Obi3 brings Kanto Audio's considered engineering to a comprehensive, ready-to-play analogue package.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive. The aluminium platter is chosen for favourable dimensional stability. The pre-installed Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge removes cartridge-selection uncertainty for the buyer, providing an accessible entry point into vinyl playback. At 400 x 355 x 94mm, the Obi3 maintains a manageable turntable chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accessible entry point into vinyl playback reflecting the factory-fitted AT3600L cartridge's capable performance straight out of the box, consistent with Kanto Audio's broader value-focused engineering philosophy.

Pairing

Because the AT3600L cartridge ships pre-installed, the Obi3 arrives ready to play directly with any amplifier offering a phono input.

Alternatives

Kanto Audio's own loudspeaker catalogue, including the Tuk Grand and YUP6, offers natural companion speakers for a coherently voiced, entirely Kanto Audio-based analogue system.
