ELAC Miracord 80 Turntable Now Available
ELAC's Miracord 80 Turntable features a 10-inch carbon fibre tonearm and optional moving magnet cartridge made by Clearaudio for ELAC.
The Miracord 80 was previewed at High End Munich and is a continuation of ELAC's vinyl playback heritage which started in 1948.
The new range-topping vinyl source features a plinth milled from solid wood, which is then finished in high gloss black or walnut veneer. The plinth is complemented by anodised aluminium panels that add further stability and mass. The entire turntable tips the scales at 14 kg.
The Miracord 80's 5.6kg platter features a complex bearing design belt-driven by a PID servo-controlled DC motor whose optical control ensures impressive speed stability (+/- 0.33 % @ 3 kHz) and a claimed < 0.15 % Wow & Flutter.
The newly developed 10-inch tonearm is made from carbon fibre and can be ordered fitted with a D96 moving magnet cartridge and stylus, which has been manufactured for ELAC by Clearaudio.
The ELAC Miracord 80 is available now in gloss black or walnut veneer with a UK SRP of £2,199 with a D96 cartridge or £1,999 without. An optional lid is also available, priced at £199.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
