We have often read and heard that simplicity is the best policy, and this statement holds true for turntables as well. The best thing about them is that they are simpler in operation, have less complications, as a result there are very slim chances of anything actually going wrong. Well, there is the argument that simple things can be good performers, because of their straightforward design and elegance as well. One of the best manifestations of simplicity in turntables would come from the Revolver Turntables from Sundown Audio.

The Revolver turntable is a belt driven turntable with an extremely small motor that spins the platter by using a thin long rubber band. The main reason for using this rubber belt is to keep the vibrations produced from the motor from getting mixed with the music while playing the record. The Revolver turntable has a unique and unusual platter, which has been shaped out of a common particle board and has less resonance than the regular aluminum or plastic. However, it does lack a USB port for transferring music like the American Audio TTD-2400. Because it is almost non-resonant it requires a non slip, thin mat for coupling with the record. Aluminium is used mainly because of its non magnetic nature, as it will not interfere with or affect the magnetic phono cartridge.

The Revolver is a simple dual speed player with simple and intuitive speed changing or controlling options. This extremely simple turntable with amazing performance and outstanding playback sound quality is quite affordable and will fit into most budgets. It is a rare and welcome thing to have such a combination where simple good looks are accompanied by the Revolver’s engineering elegance.
