Brand: HH Scott
The HH Scott LT-111 is a historic audio component that was introduced in the mid-1950s. It is a turntable, specifically a direct-drive belt-driven model, that was considered a high-end product in its time. Direct drive means that the platter (the record sits on) is driven directly by a motor, rather than through a belt. This was a new technology for turntables and eliminated the issue of belt wear and the need for occasional belt replacement.The LT-111 had a lowerederg design, which put the motor in the plinth (the base) of the turntable, rather than under it. This helped to reduce vibration and improve sound quality. It also had a removable headshell, an adjustable anti-skate mechanism, and a unique, low-profile tonearm design.In its day, the HH Scott LT-111 was a popular choice for audiophiles looking for high-quality sound reproduction. While it may not be as well-known today, it remains an important historical artefact in the evolution of turntable technology.
