Initial Max Turntable

The Initial Max takes the core architecture of the Initial and builds it out into a far more substantial platform. Total mass increases to 51kg thanks to an additional outboard plinth, while twin DC motors, an upgraded power supply and provision for two tonearms transform this compact design into a more advanced high-end turntable.

The result is greater scale, grip and dynamic authority, with the same fast, clean character J.Sikora is known for. For many systems, Initial Max will be the “real entrance” into reference-level vinyl replay, and a perfect partner for J.Sikora’s own Kevlar tonearms.
