Pure Fidelity Harmony // New / Belt Drive Reference Turntable

The Harmony is the kind of deck that makes you stop mid-conversation and just listen. Pure Fidelity's hybrid approach — intermediate-mass ultra-MDF plinth sandwiched between a 3/4-inch aircraft-aluminum isolation platform and IsoAcoustics GAIA IV footers — produces a noise floor so genuinely low that the silence between notes becomes part of the music itself. The ruby-in-bronze bearing is nearly frictionless, and the 48-mm Delrin platter's organic warmth carries through to the midrange without the edginess you'd expect from a thermoplastic. Quartz-locked Conductor speed control holds pitch with an uncanny steadiness that lets instrumental timbre breathe naturally. What you actually hear: bass that's weighty without becoming slow, highs that are resolved without hardness, and a soundstage that simply opens up. John Stratton signs each one by hand — that says everything about the care behind it.

Liner Notes

The Harmony turntable delivers the emotional connection to music you'll only get with the highest echelon of analog playback. It starts with the extraordinary balance of the Pure Fidelity "hybrid" design. The midrange is rich and the timbre of instruments and voices are real and tangible. The noise floor is uncommonly low, an inky black background from which music emerges with detailed highs and superb bass resolution. Appropriate for a component of this stature, the deck benefits from our most comprehensive countermeasures against shelf-borne vibration and resonance. The result is a musical instrument of rare quality.

The plinth has a major impact on turntable sound. High-mass designs can have solid bass, but can sound dull. Low-mass designs can have good speed and dynamics, but often sound bright. Suspended decks can have good timing, but may lack bass. To combine the best elements of each design, Pure Fidelity's founder John Stratton created the ultimate "hybrid" approach, with intermediate mass based on an ultra-MDF plinth. The result is completely neutral sound — bass is strong without being sleepy, while the highs are detailed without being bright. Fittingly, when each Pure Fidelity turntable reaches completion, John Stratton proudly signs the plinth.

The Harmony also benefits from a 6061 aircraft aluminum isolation platform separated from the plinth by patented IsoAcoustics GAIA IV footers, a ruby bearing in a low-friction bronze shaft, a massive 48-mm Delrin® platter, dual round-section drive belts, a stainless steel pulley, and the Conductor quartz-locked outboard speed controller maintaining rotational accuracy of ±0.003%. Custom configurations are available with or without a tonearm and with or without the Stratos MC cartridge.
