Introduction 

 

 

With 

Villa®

 

products you enter a new dimension. 

Villa® 

is 

the new way of listening to music. 

Villa®

 

is a range of products of 

prestigious and sophisticated Italian design featuring unique and 

innovative technical and aesthetic  characteristics.   The materials used 

for the 

Villa®

 

turntables are of the highest quality and they are all 

assembled and tested by hand, one by one. No photos or technical 

descriptions can adequately convey the quality of 

Villa®

 

turntables or the pride of owning one.    

The turntable boards are made entirely from skillfully crafted sheets of black polished acrylic. The platter itself is in extruded 

acrylic “tuned” by an amazing 9 counterweights in gold plated brass.  The pivots and bearing are made in aluminum brass 

and de -coupled stainless steel with Teflon®.   All the applied details are in 6082 aluminum alloy aluminum or gold plated 

brass and all are turned from solid blocks.  The tailor-made belt is manufactured from a special low-stretch (35/40%) resin 

which allows for maintaining the typical advantages of turntables with belt drives but also allows for adding characteristics
