Bristol Hi-Fi Show exclusive: pre-launch debut of new Soulines tt23 turntable...

Serbian hi-fi brand Soulines will pre-launch the new tt23 turntable at this year’s Bristol Hi-Fi Show, in advance of its formal launch in spring 2026.

Offering exceptional design and build quality, simplicity of use and outstanding sonic performance, the tt23 continues Soulines’ commitment to high-end sound at an accessible price.

Drawing on key design principles from the brand’s 2024 tt9 model, the tt23 incorporates even further refinements in resonance control, to ensure a clean, stable and highly musical playback experience.

A singular approach to vibration control Designer Igor Gligorov – a mechanical engineer, Conservatory-trained musician and experienced sound engineer – approaches vibration control as both an art and a science. Materials, geometries, thicknesses and drillings are all calculated using the Fibonacci Sequence and its relationship to the Golden Ratio, creating uniform damping and reducing the moment of inertia across all three planes.

A reassuringly ‘holistic’ design philosophy Gligorov likens Soulines’ approach to the craft of fine instrument-making. “There’s little point in 2 considering the attributes of individual components in isolation,” he explains. “Every part and every interaction matters equally. Each design aims for a perfect balance of ‘good compromises’ so the whole system performs as one coherent musical instrument.”

To preserve this balance, each critical component — including the platter, main bearing and spindle — is individually manufactured for precise fit rather than batch-produced. All aluminium parts are CNC-machined from solid billets, every component is inspected before assembly, and each turntable is hand-finished and rigorously tested before shipping.
