Takumi 3.1 Turntable – Walnut
The essence of Takumi is to gain a sublime understanding of the nuances of a particular art. To be focused and spend countless hours on one thing, and to carry on. It requires one to empty the mind and focus in a way that is simply not possible when still acquiring a skill.
The Takumi 3.1 is a meticulously crafted turntable that embodies the pinnacle of analog playback.
Designed by Rik Stoet, this model combines precision engineering with aesthetic elegance to deliver an unparalleled listening experience.

Takumi SpeedPod
The “SpeedPod” is an amazing product in many ways. Providing 0-33-45 and fine adjustment in 0.01 rpm steps
It provides TT Level 2.1 DC and TT Level 3.1 turntables with capabilities that only turntables with more than three times the budget are starting to offer.
Very few products offer this possibility of adjusting the rotation speed and stabilizing it to 1/100th of revolutions per minute.
It can also serve as secondary adjustments when the belt begins to be more flexible and requires an adaptation of the motor of the mobile assembly. You control the speed with the SpeedPod, a small external unit. It switches between 33.33 and 45 RPM, and lets you make fine adjustments in 0.01 RPM steps — helpful for older records or tuning by ear. Designed to integrate seamlessly, the SpeedPod fits precisely under the Takumi chassis. The “SpeedPod” is a unique product at an affordable price giving “High End” platinum performance.
