FAQ

Does the Eco Deck sound different from a standard Planar 1?No per manufacturer specs and official Green Grade testing, the Eco Deck meets the same performance standards as a regular Planar 1.Are cosmetic imperfections covered by warranty?While the unit includes a lifetime warranty for functional defects, cosmetic blemishes are typically not covered under the warranty.

Care & Maintenance

Use the dust cover when not playing records. Clean the stylus gently with a stylus brush before and after each session to prolong cartridge life. Place the turntable on a stable, vibration-free surface and avoid moving or tilting it while the platter spins. For best results, ensure your amplifier or pre-amp is compatible with a moving-magnet (MM) cartridge, since the Eco Deck does not include a built-in phono pre-amp.
