Description

Muse 3A

The turntable “Reed Muse 3A” was designed innovatively using the principles of the Bauhaus Style. This turntable meets the highest quality requirements.

The entire body of this turntable (including the bottom) is made out of birch plywood, which makes it durable, stable, and non-resonant. This model “Muse 3A” could be coated in three different colours: Carnelian Red, White and Black – depending on the customer’s choice. The platter, which is raised slightly above the main body, and hidden supports (feet) create an illusion of a light, almost hovering item, although the turntable is quite heavy.

The main bearing system of model “Muse 3A” is the same as in model “Muse 3C”. It is a reverse sliding thrust ball bearing for a main axis. The bearing ball is made from stainless steel and the lateral stability is achieved by using a very durable and low-noise sliding bearing.

“Muse 3A” turntable has a user changeable traction system. It can be switched to a belt drive or friction drive very easily (same as Muse 3C). The main difference between the models “Muse 1C”, “Muse 3C” and “Muse 3A” is that “Muse 3A” uses a single, powerful, precision Coreless DC motor. A system like this ensures less noise coming from the drive system which may be transferred to LP and phono cartridge.

Turntable “Muse 3A” has a digital control system indicator, which specifies the rotating speed of the platter and other important operating system information. In addition, the display shows an inclinometer connected to a very accurate level, which is important for correct adjustments of horizontality.

“Muse 3A” allows a customer to mount one or two tonearms (possible centre or off-centre mounting), of an effective length from 9.5″ to 12″ inclusive.

Why Choose Reed

Reed is a Lithuanian high-end analogue manufacturer renowned for producing some of the most beautifully engineered tonearms and turntables in contemporary audio. Designed and manufactured in Lithuania, Reed products combine precision mechanical engineering, artisanal craftsmanship, and highly sophisticated analogue design philosophies into products that are admired worldwide by serious vinyl enthusiasts and reference-level analogue systems.

What makes Reed particularly distinctive is the company’s obsessive focus on tonearm geometry, resonance control, and mechanical precision. While many analogue brands treat the tonearm as a supporting component to the turntable itself, Reed approaches tonearm engineering as one of the most critical elements within vinyl playback, recognising that the arm’s behaviour fundamentally shapes tracking accuracy, tonal balance, and spatial realism.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Reed products stand apart for their extraordinary craftsmanship and ability to reproduce vinyl with remarkable calmness, dimensionality, and natural musical flow. There is a sense of refinement and mechanical precision to the presentation that allows records to sound highly stable, immersive, and emotionally engaging.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Lithuania, Reed products are engineered around highly refined bearing systems, precision-machined structures, advanced resonance management, and carefully developed geometry designed to minimise unwanted energy throughout the playback system.

One of the defining characteristics of Reed tonearms is the company’s use of both traditional pivoted designs and highly sophisticated tangential tracking architectures. Reed has become especially respected for its ability to combine the musicality and flow of pivoted tonearms with the tracking accuracy and low distortion benefits often associated with linear-tracking systems.

The Reed 1X and 2G tonearms in particular have developed strong reputations for their beautifully controlled bearing behaviour, remarkable tracking stability, and highly natural tonal presentation. Reed also offers unique wooden armwand construction options, incorporating carefully selected woods to help manage resonance behaviour and contribute to the organic and refined sonic character the brand has become known for.

Reed turntables themselves continue this philosophy through substantial non-resonant platter systems, highly isolated motor control architectures, and extremely precise speed stability. The company’s engineering places enormous emphasis on preserving rotational stability and reducing mechanical interference throughout playback.

Sonically, Reed products are known for their composure, dimensionality, and highly natural presentation. Instruments and vocals emerge with exceptional image stability and tonal purity, while the soundstage feels spacious, layered, and remarkably free from mechanical hardness or strain. Bass performance remains articulate and controlled, while low-level detail retrieval and transient realism contribute to a highly immersive analogue experience.

Reed Product Range

The Reed range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes precision tonearms, reference-level turntables, tangential tracking systems, and analogue accessories designed for serious vinyl playback systems and long-term analogue ownership.

Products throughout the range showcase the company’s extraordinary attention to machining quality, resonance optimisation, and mechanical refinement while allowing customers to configure systems around different arm geometries, armwand materials, and analogue philosophies.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue setup team provide assistance with tonearm matching, cartridge integration, turntable configuration, and complete analogue optimisation to ensure Reed products perform at their full capability within each customer’s listening environment.
