The platter is a combination of 10mm-thick high-mass tempered glass with an aluminium edge that is cut inwards towards the lower section. Rather more impressive is that the Attessa is a two-pin product with no external ground that remains completely hum free across all the things I test it with. This is impressively efficient although the PSU feels cheap. Not only that, but the PSU has sufficient oomph to also run an internal phono stage and a touch panel to select 33 and 45rpm speeds. The motor operates on a surprisingly low 5V power supply. This plinth mounts the bearing which extends a considerable distance below the bottom and a 24-pole synchronous motor that acts via a belt on the sub-platter. A reasonable degree of isolation is achieved via three slightly pliant feet, but there’s no other suspension or decoupling. This is a single section, rather than one split by decoupling ‘blobs’ as used in the older models. This is perhaps most apparent in the plinth. The Attessa is a clean-sheet design there’s next to nothing you can readily identify from existing models that has been employed in its design and construction.
