源于东欧斯洛伐克，以自行生产及测验真空管见称的EAT厂家，全名为(Euro Audio Team)的EAT今年正式将生产线加入黑胶制品，推出首个顶班黑胶唱盘名为Forte。

Forte设计与一般唱盘大有分别，首先可清楚看到唱盘使用400mm直径及44磅重的大型转盘。厂称推动此转盘的能量须2460焦耳，相反转盘亦能使用此量力作谐震阻尼，令转轮运作时产生之震动减低。

转盘本身外围是硬合金铸造，内围使用软合金以两个不同谐震点减低共震，而最内围中心部份却采用钕磁构造，以形成磁浮效应，进一步杜绝谐震。

转盘面摆放黑胶碟位置，厂方特别加入一块以同制造黑胶之胶料一样的碟垫，以加强播碟时的吻合性，而且也构成另一重的阻尼作用。

转轴为倒向式设计，轴顶设有陶瓷珠以承托转轮，转轮的中轴内坑亦加入Telfon (铁弗龙) 物类，以减灭转动效应时所产生的磨擦带来之噪音。

而最受关注的是转轴对下唱盘座底有一大旋扭，用家只须松开前面两根螺丝，就能调校轴内之气压。这便能将转盘与木底座之距离调节，以作校声及协调唱臂调校VTA之用。

盘身木底座内藏有沙粒以加强刚性。马达部份为分离式双马达带动设计，作用是互相抵消马达所产生之谐震，另设有电子控速以确保转速稳定。两条驱动转轮的尼龙带更特别地加入硅物料来抵消马达产生之震荡而传送到转轮，设计可谓相当讲究。

马达部份之底座亦以金属夹合木材结构成三文治式设计，有效防止马达转动时所产生之震动。另一样特式是全盘底使用合共六集极有份量的脚座，其中四只更为磁浮式设计。每只脚座都可以调节高低，以便将唱盘调校水平和减少外来之谐震。

至于外观上，EAT厂亦照顾周—到，虽然唱盘只有一款，但却有三种不同的木纹外饰，包括Olive橄榄树木，Piano Black钢琴黑及最名贵的Makassar黑檀木以供选择。

另一特式是Forte唱盘之转盘面积大的关系，所有必须要使用12吋唱臂。因此厂家也同时推出净盘及唱盘连日本Ikea IT407单点式12吋唱臂套装。此外，代理商亦将Forte唱盘加入丹麦老牌Moerch(莫克)DP-6双单点式12吋唱臂套装以供多一份的选择。两款唱臂都是造工精湛，柔顺度高，循迹力强的典范。尤其是Moerch DP-6设计能给用家因应不同唱头之重量而选构不同质量的臂管，而无须更换整支唱臂。当然，发烧友也可单买唱盘，再配备自已喜爱的唱臂，EAT亦会相对配合，安排适合的臂座供应。

初步试听，Forte唱盘是配备Moerch DP-6唱臂和采用My Sonic Lab 的顶班Ultra Eminent唱头，可能是重量关系，声音的稳定度相当出众。各项的防震设计令声音的背景十分宁静，加上唱臂像青蜓点水般的引动唱头，令本以动态和细致已比CD强的黑胶更上一层楼。须然试听时间不算充足，但EAT这个Forte唱盘制作却带来一种极品器材才拥有的贵气和音色表现，绝对是黑胶唱盘的难能可贵之作！

Platter

The platter consists of two parts. The first part uses a soft alloy, the second part, a harder one. This reduces energy flow. The first part also incorporates the neodymium magnets. The platter weighs more than 20 kg (44 lbs). The diameter of the platter is 400 mm (15.75 1/2) (not the usual 300 mm [11.8 1/2]). Kinetic energy stored in such big platter turning at 33 RPM is an incredible 2460 Joules! This means that with the same weight you gain more moving mass on the platter. The platter also incorporates sorbothane damping to make it resonance free.

Vinyl matt

The vinyl matt is made from recycled vinyl records crating a perfect interface for the record. A clamp holds the record on the vinyl matt.

Bearing construction

The bearing is not standard but inverted with an oversized polished shaft. A ceramic ball is used on the top because it is very hard and inert. This, in combination with a Teflon plate as a bearing mirror, is also a good damping device. Teflon's accurate satin surface produces perfectly smooth movement without any rumble. The platter has a magnetic suspension using neodymium magnets. By increasing the distance from the bearing to the cartridge, the small neodymium magnets eliminate magnetic infl uence on the cartridge. Due to the magnets we can still move a large mass allowing the bearing to see virtually no pressure. This avoids rumble. (A mass loaded platter usually causes high levels of rumble.) The pressure of the bearing is adjustable. There are existing different philosophies about bearing pressure. With the Forte turntable you can adjust it according your preferences and taste.

Magnetic Feet

The table has large magnetic feet with a bearing and stabilization system. It guaranties close to 100% isolation from the floor and from airborne resonances. The magnetic bearing system allows us to use the extra silent Tefl on-ceramic combination. Usually high pressure would cause the bearing to wear out over the time. This does not happen because of the very low pressure created by the use of the magnetic system.

Motor

The motor is a stand-alone, decoupled AC unit. It uses a sophisticated electronic circuit to create 100% clean AC. It is very heavy motor with lot of mass to reduce all the existing vibrations. Motor energy is absorbed by using a sandwich system of metal and MDF. We decided to use a "dual motor design" to eliminate noise in the motor. By using two relatively weak, but silent running motors, we achieve perfect torque.

Belt

Long belts usually have some amount of wobble. To avoid this we use a special silicon string. This movement is also absorbed by the bearing block and by the huge mass of the platter itself.

E.A.T. the Energy

The E.A.T. Forte turntable is all about eating energy.

Energy from the ground is decoupled by magnetic feet.
Energy from the air is decoupled from the heavy chassis that is made from MDF and fi lled metal sand.
Energy from tone arm and cartridge is absorbed by using a heavy metal tone arm base isolated by sorbothane.
Energy from the belt is captured by the mass of the platter and by the string itself.
Energy from the motor is captured by the dual-motor design, the decoupled motor unit and the mass-loaded motor chassis.
Energy of the bearing is catch by the ceramic ball, the Tefl on plate and the magnetic bearing construction.
