Description

Muse 3C

After more than three years idea-crunching and countless man hours of CADing, prototyping, programming and real-life testing, we built our first commercially available turntable – Reed Muse 3C. Is it somehow unique? Well, yes! Whether you are fan of friction-driven turntables (the famous Garrard is made that way), or if you think that the right way to build turntables is to use a pair of motors and a belt, Reed Muse 3C should catch your eye.

Thanks to its unique and innovative design, you can convert friction-driven turntable to a belt-driven machine in 5 minutes.

What is inside of our turntable?

After extensive prototyping and long-term experiments we came up to a solution of using a reverse sliding thrust ball bearing for a main axis. Bearing ball is made either from steel or ceramics and the lateral stability is achieved by using very durable and low-noise polymer sliding bearing. Symmetrical drive system is designed to avoid radial bearing load, hence minimizing possible mechanical noise and ensuring longevity of a master bearing.

Muse 3C is powered by two direct current motors and by design is friction-driven, however its major innovation is possibility to convert it to a belt-driven system in minutes by replacing traction rollers and putting on a belt (and, of course, setting a switch to a correct position). To prevent possible mechanical vibration, we use traction rollers (be it friction or belt) of different diameters, spinning at different velocities and having mathematically non-multiple diameters to driving disc diameter. Disc velocity is stabilized by quartz-based phase locked loop (PLL) system, so average speed deviation depends solely on the parameters of quartz crystal. Turntable drive is equipped with both mechanical and electronic protection systems.

Turntable also features electronic inclinometer (electronic level dedicated to measure turntable slope/tilt angle), which allows user to achieve perfect horizontal alignment without using additional tools.

Turntable can be equipped with one or two tonearms with effective length ranging from 9.5” to 12”.

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.
