Introducing the new white DG-1S record player

Hear the truth in black and white

We are delighted to announce that the new DG-1S record player is now available in a stunning new white finish from early October. The new white version utilises two polished soft-look cast Perspex sheets sandwiched around a constrained transparent Perspex inner.

Traditionally product development at Vertere comes from two sources: A tranquil eureka moment for Touraj or conversations with distribution – a Push or Pull approach. This product came by a chance conversation between Touraj and Chelsea – Vertere's marketing specialist – where she expressed a desire for a white finish DG-1S. It all went quiet until the next meeting, where Touraj proudly displayed the white DG-1S. There was immediate consensus that the white DG-1S had to be immediately made available.

If you thought the black looked good, you have to see the white.

What’s New for the DG-1S (white and black)?

Improved platter bearing – The precision machining and polishing operations have a higher tolerance with the variation halved statistically. The super smooth finish bore with the precision Tungsten Carbide interference fit ball delivers lower noise, lower rumble, a lower effort for the motor and less rotational variability.

Groove Runner S tonearm – The arm beam is now constructed from a five-layer polymer laminate bonded to a second five-layer polymer laminate. The PCB flex signal carrier is bonded in-between the two laminates. The profile of the arm and bearing has improved the counterweight/bearing/headshell/cartridge alignment.

Improved tonearm bearings – The Vertical Kevlar thread bearing is now adjustable for tension and azimuth. The Horizontal nylon thread bearing is now fitted with greater precision to ensure even greater consistency.

New Motor Drive software allows separate adjustment in two steps, initially the sine wave voltage and then the cosine wave adjustment at the final stage for the absolute lowest noise and vibration.

Improved coupling between the three plinths – improves resistive damping and reduces noise.
