What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- TechDAS turntables employ air-bearing platters and vacuum record hold-down systems across their entire product line, even in their most affordable models.
- The brand's turntables often feature a multi-layered chassis construction utilizing a combination of different materials to minimize vibration and resonance.
- TechDAS emphasizes precise control of platter rotation, often employing sophisticated motor control systems with quartz oscillators and microcontrollers.
- They offer design their products as tool-like and highly customizable, accommodating up to four tonearms with a variety of armboard options.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The lavish abundance of micro-detail, coupled with the sinuosity of the 'table, gives Turrentine's sax work a live quality that is anything but easy to reproduce. At the same time, Scott's organ notes pealed out with a jaunty bounce that I'm not sure I've ever really sensed to this degree." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/techdas-air-force-iii-turntable)
- "With its ultraquiet backgrounds, the generosity of its presentation of instrumental sustain and decay, its neutral spectral balance, and a dynamic presentation that seems to project and establish the musical picture far from the speaker boundaries and without limitations, the Air Force One Premium has a knack for getting out of the way and letting your cartridge of choice exhibit its sonic character without restrictions." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/analog-corner-294-techdas-air-force-one-premium-turntable-graham-engineering-elite-tonearm-0)
- "The Zero is the most speed-consistent belt-drive turntable I've reviewed, and with its air-bearing platters and air suspension, also the quietest, best isolated, and most inert, with stable sonics, quiet, and exceptional detail resolution with no added grain or unnatural, mechanical edge definition." (https://audiophilepure.com/2021/09/16/techdas-air-force-zero-turntable-450000-review)
- "Not only were the string sections crisply delineated, but the flutes had an airy and translucent quality. The sheer amount of detail delivered on fortissimo passages without any sense of breakup or incoherence was also quite remarkable." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/techdas-air-force-iii-turntable)
- "In a word, silky. It was evident from the very first needle drop that the Air Force III, coupled with a TechDAS cartridge, possesses a remarkably continuous sound." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/techdas-air-force-iii-turntable)
