The Turntable
Vinyl records have defied predictions of their demise, continuing to captivate music lovers with their rich, engaging sound. Many listeners appreciate the distinctive warmth and tactile character that vinyl playback offers—qualities that have helped the format remain popular even in the age of digital audio.
The T+A G 2000 R Turntable builds on the legacy of the earlier G 1260 R model, introducing a range of refinements designed to extract the best possible performance from vinyl records. Developed as part of the R-Series, this turntable is engineered to deliver exceptional analog playback while combining elegant design with modern precision engineering.
To achieve the highest sound quality, great care has been taken to minimize mechanical and electrical interference. The drive system, motor control, and chassis construction all work together to reduce vibration, resonance, and structural noise. The result is a sound presentation that is transparent, dynamic, and highly detailed.
Several configuration options are available. The turntable can be supplied with a Clearaudio High-End Carbon tonearm and a premium moving-coil cartridge, or without tonearm and cartridge for those who prefer to select their own components. An optional PHE-G R MC phono preamplifier module can also be installed within the chassis for a clean and integrated vinyl playback solution.
Drive Motor
A key design focus is the drive system, which must operate with exceptional smoothness and stability. The turntable employs a high-quality synchronous motor connected to the platter via a precisely machined pulley and a specially ground rubber belt. This proven belt-drive approach is widely used in high-end turntable designs due to its ability to isolate motor vibrations from the platter.
To further enhance performance, the motor and surrounding structure have been carefully engineered to minimize vibration, resonance, and unwanted mechanical noise across the entire system.
DSP Control
An innovative DSP-based motor control system plays an important role in maintaining consistent rotational speed. By precisely shaping the motor’s drive signal, the system helps ensure extremely smooth platter rotation with minimal vibration.
This advanced control technology greatly reduces speed variations—commonly known as wow and flutter—resulting in stable pitch and highly accurate playback. Because the motor speed is digitally controlled, the turntable can also switch easily between 33 and 45 RPM without manually repositioning the belt.
Case Design
The chassis design is equally important for achieving optimal sonic performance. The G 2000 R is housed in a solid MDF plinth, chosen for its excellent vibration-damping properties. Internal components are mounted within this structure, while the entire turntable rests on four shock-absorbing feet to isolate it from external vibrations.
External aluminum elements use a sandwich construction to further absorb structural resonance, and the aluminum top cover is bonded to the chassis to enhance rigidity and reduce vibration.
The precision-machined platter is manufactured from pressure-cast material and mounted on an inner zinc platter for additional isolation. Combined with a soft silicone rubber mat, this design helps damp unwanted resonance while protecting delicate vinyl records. The result is a stable, acoustically inert platform that allows the cartridge to track the record groove with maximum accuracy and minimal interference.

The Audiophileman
“A stable and steady vinyl platform, the T+A adds a sense of conviction with its ease of use in terms of set-up and the bundled features that add value. Combine that lot to the generally neutral and focused sound output, one that offers no intrusive vices or negatives and you have an excellent vinyl front end that will serve any analogue fan for many years to come.”
