Description

The AMG Giro MK II with 9WT tonearm combines AMG’s refined turntable platform with a high-precision 9-inch tonearm derived from the 12JT. The Giro MK II features a 5.6kg POM platter with an improved platter-to-subplatter interface, a quartz-controlled Swiss belt-drive motor and a decoupled hydrodynamic bearing system. Micrometre-range manufacturing tolerances, revised damping and capacitive touch speed controls are designed to deliver excellent rotational stability, low-noise operation and precise adjustment of 33.3 and 45 RPM playback.

The included AMG 9WT incorporates an enlarged low-friction bearing structure and integrated adjustment systems for accurate tonearm setup. Its 229mm effective length is paired with a resonance-optimised high-grade aluminium arm tube, adjustable magnetic anti-skating, bearing-mounted azimuth adjustment and repeatable VTA control. Handmade internal wiring with gold-plated connections and a two-piece counterweight further contribute to vibration control, cartridge stability and accurate signal transmission.

Features

  • Improved platter-to-subplatter interface enhances synchronisation and rotational stability
  • Micrometre-range platter bearing tolerances support highly precise playback
  • Decoupled spindle and bearing architecture helps isolate unwanted mechanical vibration
  • Adapted belt transmission and additional damping contribute to exceptionally quiet operation
  • Capacitive touch controls provide convenient tool-free speed adjustment
  • Larger 9WT bearing structure provides precise low-friction vertical and horizontal movement
  • Built-in adjustment instruments allow critical tonearm parameters to be set accurately by hand
  • Fine-thread knurled controls provide precise tool-free tonearm adjustment
  • Bearing-mounted azimuth adjustment maintains a rigid headshell connection while optimising channel performance
  • Adjustable magnetic anti-skating supports centred and low-distortion groove tracking
  • Integrated bubble level and threaded VTA adjustment provide precise, repeatable tonearm height setup
  • Handmade internal wiring uses a specialised winding pattern to reduce magnetic field resonances
  • Gold-plated internal connections support clean and reliable signal transfer
  • Resonance-optimised aluminium arm construction is engineered for low resonance behaviour
  • Two-piece counterweight optimises mass distribution and vibration isolation for improved dynamics and bass control
