Already it has been described as “21st century retro”. “Little Super Deck 2’s” styling brief was to evoke not only a timeless quality but also one capable of gracing many different settings. More than that adjusting the important parameters of overhang and azimuth are all done using just a single screw. A nifty headshell that makes and easy job of fitting and changing cartridges. Its clever variable mass tracking weight system helps optimise the arm for different cartridges.
It will happily handle cartridges costing as much as the deck and the music simply keeps flowing. Having started with a solid foundation for the turntable itself, what of the arm?įunk’s new FX5X may be budget priced, its performance, however, is anything but. Germany’s Audio magazine gave Little Super Deck top honours for technical excellence and its sonic purity meant it went into their exclusive “Reference” section for turntables. Little Super Deck and Super Deck Grande are the entry points for Funk’s now famous three-pulley Vector drive system. In turn this is driven by a superb motor and control. The platter rotates on top of a quality, hand burnished bearing. The package is a saving of over £400 if you were to buy components individually. The LSD2 fully loaded FX3 version comes loaded: FX3 tonearm, both versions of Houdini, Bo!ngs, Achromat and Smoothie. Please note LSD2 is now only available as a fully loaded deck and comes with FX5X, Bo!ngs, Smoothy PSU and Houdini fitted as standard.
