Muse 3C Turntable By Reed

The Reed Muse 3C turntable is an extraordinary blend of cutting-edge design and sonic excellence, offering both style and substance. This Lithuanian-engineered marvel is renowned for its striking appearance, with its swept-wing styling and cylindrical platter housing reminiscent of high-end audio aesthetics. Featuring a precision-engineered 9lb polyoxymethylene platter with a robust aluminum ring and a unique dual-drive system, the 3C delivers unparalleled speed accuracy, and stability. Its innovative friction and belt-drive options cater to different preferences, while its built-in strobe system ensures optimal speed.

Coupled with Reed’s meticulous attention to detail, such as an inclinometer for perfect leveling and a high-quality external power supply, the Muse 3C promises an engaging and musically immersive experience. The turntable’s impressive performance, rich tonal balance, and low coloration make it a standout choice for discerning audiophiles, though its superior qualities come at a premium price.

This turntable can be equipped with one or two tonearms with effective lengths ranging from 9.5” to 12”. Reed makes some of the best tonearms on the market and they’re a perfect match for their 3C Turntable.
