GIRO MKII

AMG (Analog Manufaktur Germany) is known for their precision engineering and remarkable mechanical artistry, and the Giro MkII is no exception. Its solid aluminium and acrylic construction, high-tolerance bearing, and refined belt-drive system combine to deliver a sound that’s effortlessly fluid, stable, and deeply musical. The 9W2 tonearm, a masterpiece of German machining, provides superb tracking and control, unlocking every nuance from the DS Audio cartridge.

Introducing the next generation of AMG's celebrated Giro turntable, The Giro MK II. All critical components impacting sonic performance have been updated and improved, while maintaining the elegant minimalist design, compact form factor, and precision build quality of its predecessor. With improvements to the platter, bearing, motor, pulley, electronics, and armboard, the Giro MK II sets a new standard for performance in its price class.

Key Features

- 12lb rim-weighted POM platter, 40% heavier than the original, for improved speed stability and vibrational control

- Ultra-quiet Swiss-made 12v DC motor with smaller pulley for improved speed stability and increased dynamics

- High-mass hydrodynamic lubricated bearing with redesigned two-tier sub-platter interface for better fit, improved mechanical efficiency, and quiet operation

- Larger, higher-mass armboard for better rigidity at the tonearm mount, and allowance for wider tonearm compatibility

- All of AMG's trademark features, including decoupled spindle/bearing structure, capacitive touch speed selection with built-in electronic speed adjustment, tonearm with patented dual-pivot bearing, AMG Reflex Clamp, and optional linear power supply upgrade

9W2 STANDARD TONEARMS

All AMG Tonearms feature patented dual-pivot bearings, which use spring steel tension rods in the vertical plane, a design invented and patented by company founder Werner Roeschlau and based off of similar designs found in helicopter rotors. This offers ultra-low friction operation, while eliminating the possibility of any bearing chatter or play, as can sometimes occur on traditional gimbal bearings tonearms. AMG tonearms all feature aluminum arm tubes, adjustable azimuth and VTA, magnetic anti-skate, and multi-stranded copper wire wound in-house. They come in both 9” and 12” lengths, and can be purchased with SME or Linn mounting adapters for use with other turntable brands. 

DS Audio DSE1

The DS Audio DSE1 optical cartridge system takes analog playback to another level — using a light-sensing technology instead of a traditional coil design, it produces a remarkably quiet background, stunning dynamic range, and purity of tone that’s genuinely captivating.

Together, this trio forms a high-end analogue front end that’s refined, natural, and breathtakingly engaging. It’s an extremely rare opportunity to purchase such a perfectly balanced combination — tuned, tested, and ready to bring your records to life.
