Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.

The Forte from E.A.T. can best be described as a massive machine that will help you get the best out of your vinyl. Utilising a combination of both mass-loaded principles along with an isolated sub chassis, the E.A.T. Forte is a true feat in both design and performance.
The plinth for the Forte has been designed in two parts, the first being a massive mass-loaded base intended to support the platter and tonearm, this part of the plinth uses metal sand pellets to add further weight and anti-resonance properties to the turntable. The second part of the plinth consists of a stand-alone decoupled AC unit that operates the turntables' dual drive system, delivering both clean currents and speed stability.
Both components of the Forte’s chassis are fitted with large magnetic feet containing their own stabilisation system, that decouples the turntable from the surface beneath and any vibrations given off from the motor.
The platter once again adopts the high-mass principle used in the chassis and is composed of two separate parts. The platters base is made using two different alloys, used to help reduce energy flow. The base of the platter spans 400mm in diameter, and has magnets integrated into the alloy to assist in decoupling the platter from the plinth, reducing strain on the bearings during playback, ensuring speed is consistent.
On top of the alloy section of the platter sits a layer of vinyl that has been melted on top, to provide a smooth, stable surface on which to place your records on top of. E.A.T. also employ Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) damping in the base of the platter which assists in reducing any variances and improves the tolerances of the turntable.
The Forte is available with a wide choice of tonearm options, including the flagship E.A.T. F-Note. When installed with an F-Note, the performance is exceptional and truly worthy of the turntable's high-end status. To discuss your tonearm options, please use the contact form below.
The Forte is available with different cartridge options. To keep its true high-end status it is best considered with the Jo No. 8 moving coil cartridge for a truly unrivalled audio experience. However, to discuss your specific requirements please contact us using the form below.
As standard, the Forte is available in stylish black finish. However, there are multiple customisable options available, including limited edition colour finishes that are released from time to time. To discuss your exact requirements please contact us using the form below.
