The music we hear when playing vinyl records, in reality, comes from the motor. The motor is the only source of energy in the system.  It is this energy that drives the record past the stylus thus making the music we hear. Any amount of noise or fluctuation in the drive system will adversely impact on the music.  Detail, dynamics, timbre, timing and musicality are just some of the qualities that will suffer as a result. 

Challenger ensures the DC power to the DG-1 record player or the Tempo motor drive is clean, stable and free from interference to allow the motor drives operate at their optimum.

The Challenger enhances the musical performance and makes the experience of listening to vinyl on your Vertere record player that much closer to the original master.
