Unison Research Giro Turntable
This is a used Unison Research Giro turntable. Featuring a 40mm acrylic platter and carbon fibre tonearm with magnetic anti-skate.
This was manufactured by Clearaudio for Unison Research.
In great condition given its age. There are a couple small things of note; a slight discoloration of the platter arylic and it looks like a faint crack (likely where the wood was joined) . Both of these do not really show up in the photos or even in person, but they are noted.
We can also sell you a suitable cartridge if you are also in the market for one.
The Unison Research Giro is a high-end, belt-drive turntable known for its distinctive Italian design, blending wood and acrylic to match the brand's aesthetic.
