A joy to look at as well as listen to, Vertere’s DG-1 is an outstanding turntable package without a doubt.

Welcome to the Part-Time Audiophile Buyers Guide for 2021! This year we decided to mix it up a little by breaking up the Buyers Guide into sections, which makes it a far more manageable read.

The Vertere DG-1 (Dynamic Groove) is an unsuspended, belt driven turntable. It is intended to offer a level of plug and play convenience while not compromising on the virtues that the company holds dear.

The DG-1 rightly bears its name “Dynamic Groove”. No matter if rough impulses or fine dynamic contrasts like soft guitar noise, which add lively breath to a performance: the Vertere mastered it equally fast and effortless.

The Dynamic Groove (DG-1) turntable with built-in ‘Groove Runner’ tonearm is something completely new.

Supplied with or without a partnering MM cartridge, this new ‘entry-level’ deck to the
Vertere range comes equipped with a re-imagining of the archetypal flat tonearm.
