TechDAS Air Force Zero Full Turntable System Showcased on Tour
TechDAS has told us that the new Air Force Zero turntable is almost ready to be unveiled and so will be showcased in its full system during a special tour.
StereoNET has, of course, reached out for more details but TechDAS is holding its cards close to its chest. However, there has been what is noted to be a prototype version of the Air Force Zero spotted on the interwebs.
There is a disclaimer that the production model will no doubt differ, but the specs are rather interesting anyway. What is seen here are platters that weigh circa 120 kg, with the floating mechanism coming in at about 320kg making the total system around 520 kilograms. The drive system employs a three layer 12-pole outer rotor motor.
We have also heard rumours of a 390,000 euros price tag. Naturally, this is yet to be confirmed.
To mark the launch of this new entirely unprecedented turntable, Hideaki Nishikawa will present and demonstrate Air Force Zero at the Air Force Zero Full System World Tour which is scheduled as follows:
Tokyo
TechDAS Air Force Zero Launch Event in Tokyo on 16th March 2019. The very first opportunity to unveil the new ultimate turntable in the world.

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.
