REKKORD’s F100 Turntable Feels Oddly Similar to Some Other Tables and That’s Not a Good Thing

REKKORD F100 Turntable Front

If the REKKFORD F100 Turntable looks and feels somewhat familiar to some of you this morning — you are not alone. The $399 USD deck is manufactured in Germany and whilst we can’t confirm the OEM source, the similarities to another deck that we covered last year offered by Andover Audio raise a few eyebrows.

OEM designs are nothing new in consumer A/V, but at some point having too many options actually dilutes the pool of quality ones. It certainly feels that everyone is jumping into the market hoping to capitalize on the resurgence of vinyl, but when does it become too much?

There are hundreds of turntable options available today in 2023 and the focus needs to be on quality more than anything when buying one regardless of price.

The REKKFORD F100 will be viewed by some as an alternative to options like the Andover Audio SpinDeck MAX, but we suspect that the superior cartridge from Ortofon on that deck and its build quality will be strong points of differentiation.

So what does the F100 offer? Let’s take a look.

REKKORD F100 Turntable with Dustcover up

“Whether it’s connected to a pair of powered speakers or integrated in a traditional stereo system, the REKKORD F100 offers the ideal blend of exceptional performance and ease of operation,” says Roy Feldstein, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) VANA Ltd., exclusive North American importer of REKKORD turntables. “No matter the arrangement, it will provide countless hours of pleasure without the extensive set-up requirements of more complicated models.”

Featuring an eye-catching black satin matte finish that blends with any decor, the F100 is comprised of some of the finest components available, including a heavy aluminum platter for enhanced stability through years of heavy use. A low-mass tonearm reduces vinyl wear to the bare minimum.

Attached to the tonearm is a pre-mounted Audio Technica 3600L cartridge, which is typically associated with turntables at significantly higher price points. Rounding out the package are pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating settings to ensure accurate playback, and a chassis made of pressed wood that reduces resonance, resulting in sound the way it was meant to be heard, without interference from vibration and other anomalies.

Adds Mr. Feldstein: “REKKORD turntables are direct descendants of some of the most well- respected and sought after products on the planet. We are thrilled to make them available to consumers who crave an outstanding, yet simple solution for enjoying the new generation of vinyl albums.”
