The soulution 787 Turntable Is Engineered For Audiophile Perfection Assessment Review
Audio Precision Redefined: Unlocking the revolution of the soulution 787 turntable.
HIGH END 2025 Audiophile Show Report By Steven R. Rochlin

  The soulution 787 turntable (CHF 67,500 including 8.1% VAT) is designed to meet the uncompromising standards of music lovers and audiophiles. Its core innovation lies in its linear tracking design, which uses a moving platter combined with a minimally moving, pivoted tonearm. This integration reduces tracking error to a maximum of less than 0.15°, ensuring that the stylus consistently follows the groove with supreme precision, no matter where it is on the record.

Revolutionary Tracking Mechanism
soulution provided Enjoy the Music.com with exacting details about their 787's platter subassembly. It is a marvel in precision! The 787 turntable bits comprises a main platter, a sub-platter featuring a low-friction sintered magnetic bearing, and a dedicated platter drive motor equipped with precious metal brushes. Here's where the fun begins as this entire assembly slides laterally on polished axles beneath the tonearm, maintaining optimal alignment throughout the vinyl LP recording. By doing so, the system eliminates friction and unbalanced lateral forces — challenges that are often inherent in conventional linear tracking tonearms — thus eradicating skating forces and reducing alignment errors.

The soulution 787's modestly-sized 8" tonearm is a hybrid design that aims to marry the best aspects of both linear and traditional pivoted designs. Mounted on an isolated, resonance-controlled sub-chassis, the tonearm not only accommodates high compliance cartridges but also benefits from ultra-precise inductive proximity sensors. These sensors continuously monitor its position and control the lateral movement of the platter, keeping tracking error consistently below +/-0.15°.

Additionally, the tonearm's design includes adjustable VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) and azimuth settings, along with precious metal alloy cables for optimal signal integrity. When the platter shifts into its parking position, the tonearm swivels out, making vinyl record changes both quick and comfortable.

All this is well and good, yet what about speed stability and the power it needs? A robust, switched mode power supply featuring highly efficient DC-DC converters and fast, ultra-low noise linear regulators powers the 787 turntable motors. This design ensures that the voltages required for operation are generated with minimal interference, underpinning pristine audio performance, and exacting rotational speed with reliable efficiency.

Playback Speeds: 33 rpm and 45 rpm
