The Jubilee is the only turntable in the range of FLUO, a Winchester, England based brand whose products are developed under the creative direction of IsoTek founder Keith Martin. The analogue side of FLUO is handled by Kurt Olbert, creator of the RDC resonance deadening compound, and the Jubilee draws on more than four decades of his work with resonance control. FLUO positions it as a luxury product.
Key specs that matter
FLUO has not yet published a technical specification sheet for the Jubilee, so platter mass, speeds and tonearm details are not confirmed. What the maker does describe is the layout. The chassis is made of four independent levels, each calibrated for weight and fabrication accuracy under what FLUO calls its Defined Concept of Mass. The levels are anchored to four pillars, and every pillar is individually adjustable to bring the deck precisely level.
Engineering and use context
Separating the chassis into levels is meant to stop resonance energy and interference passing from one level to the next, which makes the drive almost insensitive to external influences. The motor is run by a fully electronic control housed in its own chassis. It combines a microcontroller, a sine wave generator and an amplifier stage that keeps the supply voltage stable with very low total harmonic distortion. Speed is changed with a button press, the platter speeds can be fine tuned through a menu, the motor drive is phase optimised for speed stability, and a display shows the operating functions.
Alternatives
FLUO does not make another turntable, so the Jubilee has no in-house alternative.
