vibration damping
Moving
the main bearing to the second plinth improved cartridge tracking and
significantly lowered background noise. The adjustable
magnetic-levitation isolation feet, microprocessor speed control,
motors, flywheel, and wiring are all mounted to the bottom plinth. The
motors, flywheel, and speed control are further isolated on their own
vibration damped dual-plinth platform, which is separately isolated from
the upper three main plinths.

Sorbothane hemispheres
separate each of the three main plinths and provide additional vibration
damping. The bottom plinth functions as a mass-loaded resonant sink for
the entire turntable. Two motors and a flywheel are used to increase
torque and speed stability. The mmf-11.3 comes in a high-gloss piano
black lacquer finish and ships without cartridge. A large encapsulating
acrylic dustcover is included.
