Spotheim SpJ La Luce Turntable
and the SpJ Lyla Pick-Up Arm

La Luce turntable is the smallest of the Spotheim SpJ La Luce series.

La Luce turntable is a low energy storage, direct-coupled, non-suspended design. The transparent acrylic platter's mass and inertia is increased by the embedded stainless steel weights around the platter periphery.

A central, asymmetric acrylic block holds the bearing house.

The pick-up arm is directly connected to this acrylic central block.

An acrylic cylinder is bolted to the underside of the central block and this forms a T-shaped support.

La-Luce turntable rests on three contact points and is levelled by adjustment knobs on each side of the T-shape support.

All major components are individually machined from billets of transparent acrylic.

The ideal mechanical impedance match of the acrylic material and record vinyl allows stylus-induced resonance to pass smoothly into the mass of the platter and platform.

Platter revolving mass: 8-Kg.

A soft belt drives the platter at 33.3-RPM or at the 45-RMP platter speed.

The belt is connected to the outboard direct drive synchronous AC motor, which is set inside a massive metal housing.
