Produced in honor of the British brand’s 25th anniversary, the Wilson Benesch Circle 25 turntable represents the evolutionary refinements that the company has introduced to its turntables over the years since its founding.
The Circle 25 turntable uses a unique suspension design. “It features unidirectional, high-modulus, carbon-fiber rods.” “This elegant solution provides a cantilevered sprung-suspension system; but also, because of their intrinsic super-high stiffness, the rods cannot transfer the resonance that would impact on the crucially important sub-chassis, which holds both the bearing and the tonearm,” says Craig Milnes, Wilson Benesch founder, owner, and director.
Additionally, the turntable’s new Delrin composite plinth is considerably more rigid than its predecessor’s, which used medium-density fiberboard. Lifting the platter from the sub-chassis reveals its elegant machining and assembly. An improved main bearing reduces platter vibration, while a Wilson Benesch A.C.T. 25 tonearm and matching Ply phono cartridge, which come preinstalled, eliminate the need for a complicated setup process. Wilson Benesch employs a unique method for laying the carbon fiber when producing the A.C.T. 25 tonearm, giving it superior rigidity and weight reduction compared to its predecessor……
