Cyrus TTP Turntable £4,295

Some could say that it is a surprising move for an audio brand more familiar with digital sources to launch a turntable, but Cyrus sees it very differently. If anything, they feel that it has been an obvious missing part from their product range. Cyrus designed and built their very popular and award-winning phono stage the Phono Signature nearly 10 years ago and it has remained a core part of their product range ever since, so launching a turntable worthy of this phono stage makes perfect sense and definitely makes us want to find out more.

The TTP Turntable is very worthy of the Cyrus name. Precision machined from solid aluminium blocks, the plinth and platter are extremely stable for superb vinyl playback capability, while the lightweight tonearm provides an excellent mounting point for your choice of cartridge. The synchronous motor has a custom-designed digital control circuit, ensuring very low wow and flutter with exceptional speed stability.

Nick Clarke, MD at Cyrus said "We wanted to provide the best possible playback regardless of the media and were looking to add a partner to our multi award-winning Phono Signature. While not known for turntable design, we have partnered with a hugely skilled and vertically integrated German engineering company for the mechanical aspects while applying our skills to the PSU and motor drive to create what we believe is one of the best turntables at this price."

TheCyrus TTP Turntable will retail in the UK for £4,295 and will be available for delivery from the end of October.
