JT8 Skorpion
Stereo Turntable


Is the Skorpion an animal?
No.
Is it an insect?
No.
Sure, you might say it’s alive. Some know it’s part of the Arachnids class, and that it-s a predator, recognized by its unique attack position.
The Škorpion is a Czechoslovak 7.65 mm submachine gun developed in 1959, pure mechanical device, renowned as a device with a very low recoil impulse. Bullet proof and time proof vintage equipment, indeed.
Yes, the Jarett Acoustics JT8 Stereo Turntable is alive.

The JT8 has a belt drive system with a high inertia synchronous motor/platter system.
Structure was designed to be though and vibration absorbing at the same time. While lower deck is machined from impregnated mass-coloured high density mdf, the sidewalls are insulated by means of a self developed polyurethane recipe insert in order to avoid resonance. The tonearm is a combination of T7065 swiss aerospace aluminum with high grade carbon fiber, supported on ceramic ball bearings.
The turntable has a folding cover made of
linden wood, in such a way that the image suggests an aggressive scorpion.

The turntable is in a private collection.
