Customer Review of the Unity One Kit

Hello Mark,

  Please find below as requested a review of the Unity One.  

“ In the eighties ‘British Rail’ had a slogan “Let the train take the strain” .The adverts showed a train speeding along with stress free passengers avoiding the hassle of traffic jams.

Listening to the ‘Unity One’ made me think of this advert. The sound is so effortless, tracking is vastly improved, inner groove distortion disappears, sibilant vocals are reproduced with a complete sense of correctness, all from a quiet background.  

The Naim Aro retains its liquid and sweet presentation but the treble is more incisive with greater impact and the sound is more tactile with a greater sense of space. The base sill retains its slight softness but is more dynamic.

I have been purchasing Hi Fi for 50 years and have never achieved such an upgrade for such a small outlay. “

Peter G. Somers.

Unity - One Concept  

To get the most information from your turntable it is important not to lose any information from the record groove and to avoid colouration of the

original recording.

To attain this balance it is important that no part of the tone arm, arm-board, sub-chassis main bearing or platter can absorb energy or excite at

audio frequency.

To achieve this most desirable combination we have carried out an extensive testing program using accelerometers and laser measuring devices to

discover the very best materials from which to create our   Unity  -   One Chassis combination and have now developed a totally new inert armboard,

sub-chassis and suspension system that allows the very highest performance levels to be produced from the LP-12 turntable.

Unity - One The Best Material

We considered several engineering polymers including a full carbon acrylic but after extensive testing all were rejected due to very tiny but still

unacceptable levels of energy absorption.

Finally we have chosen the same Aerospace Alloy that is used to mount the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 Turbine Engines to British Airliners.

And after specialist cutting and shaping the Aerospace Alloy Unity - One is firstly chemically soaked and then baked in a furnace to reach its full

hardness before being hard-anodised to tune the whole unit to its perfect temper.

Unity - One Unique Shape

The unusual shape of the Unity - One has been developed by an ingenious Cad Program that has analysed every millimetre of the cross section of

the Aerospace Alloy when cut in its first sample Unity - One design to create this new unique shape that ensures a non-uniform cross section that

eliminates energy loss.

Unity - One Icing on The Cake

The standard LP-12 chassis is often distorted making perfect alignment impossible.

The Unity - One main bearing and arm-board seats are milled to be exactingly flat

 guaranteeing perfect alignment of the stylus to the record groove .

Unity - One For The Very Best Results

Vinyl Passion are Pioneers in the development of the Acrylic Armboard for the LP-12, Vinyl Passion utilises a highly specialised Carbon impregnated

Cast Acrylic for their VP-1 Polymer Armboard. This has now been in production for over 7 years and has won acclaim all over the world.

Recognising the need to improve the internal structure of the LP-12 even further has brought forth the development of the Unity - One Chassis.

This new VP combination of Sub-Chassis and Arm Board is the perfect marriage of materials - totally inert at audio frequency providing the tone

arm a perfect platform to perform at its very best.

The VP-1 Carbon Acrylic Arm Board is fastened directly to the hardened Aerospace Alloy Chassis with non magnetic Stainless Steel bolts to make a

totally rigid perfectly aligned and resonant free join this is easily as strong as any one piece unit with the added flexibility of interchangeable arm boards

The Unity - One  Can easily be economically  upgraded to the  Unity - Two  At any time  by Simply Changing to the  Unity - Two    Armboard.

We have enjoyed this development project immensely and believe the Unity - One is the finest product on the market to get the very most from

your LP-12 at a fair price.

Having owned LP-12’s and SME turntables for many years it feels good to have at last added the final touches to the creation of an LP-12 with the

dynamics and detail of the SME yet retaining the warmth and musicality for which the Linn is so much loved and hopefully at a price that is

affordable to the enthusiast. Enjoy
