Precision engineering, innovative design, and aesthetic beauty- these are the characteristics which define the products from Analog Manufaktur Germany. AMG designs and builds high-quality turntables for the analogue audio market and for music lovers everywhere. The development of precision components has been a successful discipline of the family business for decades. Managing Director Julian Lorenzi took over AMG in 2013, continuing the success story of his father Werner Röschlau, who founded the company in 2011. Particular pride lies in the pioneering work of the self-developed two-point bearing made of spring steel. The self-developed system is still used today in the 9W and 12J tonearm series and stands for the high quality and durability of the products.

 

The AMG factory, based in Deining, Bavaria, manufactures some of the world’s most high-performance turntables. Due to a high level of vertical integration and to their staff of experienced craftsmen and analogue specialists, the AMG factory guarantees consistent quality in all products. In over 25 countries across the globe, the turntables and tonearms from AMG inspire music lovers and technology fans by constantly setting new standards of high-end playback. Their range of turntable offerings aims to fit the lifestyle of all audio enthusiasts, from the minimalist simplicity of the Giro series, to the massive flagship Forte turntable, all AMG products guarantee an unforgettable listening experience.

 

 

FORTE

AMG‘s flagship- the ultimate in turntable design. Ultra-high mass 105 lb structure machined out of single-piece aluminum billet provides the most stable platform possible, allowing motor, bearing, tonearm, and upgraded dual-material platter to function with complete mechanical silence and precision. The Forte offers a truly reference-level listening experience, with palpable dynamic impact, holographic imaging, and the perfect balance of tonal warmth and accuracy.

Forte Features & Specifications

  • Ultra massive plinth machined from solid aluminum billet, 70 mm thick and and over 50 lbs

  • Improved 24V outboard linear power supply with voltage filtering and upgraded transformer, housed in heavy aluminum chassis

  • Forte clamp, a more massive version of the standard AMG reflex clamp

  • Optional Fortissimo arm base for adding additional 12" or 9" AMG tonearms
  • Massive 2-piece platter, 31lb and 87mm thick, composed of aircraft grade aluminum and larger integrated PVC mat

  • Housings for bearing, motor, and feet are all directly machined into the solid plinth for ultimate rigidity

  • 12JT Turbo tonearm included

  • Dimensions: 20 5/8″ x 9″ x 12 7/16″ (includes clamp), Total weight 106 lbs

VIELLA

The Viella is the heart of the AMG lineup, the longest standing and most popular AMG design. Unique characteristics include AMG’s oil-damped high mass bearing with integrated subplatter, allowing for the Viella’s massive aluminum platter and spindle to fully decouple from any sources of vibration. Its high-torque, servo-controlled DC motor and ergonomic capacitive touch speed controls make the Viella a pleasure to operate, and an even greater treat to listen to.
