The Soulines story
We started the “tt recycled” company (turntable recycled), www.ttrecycled.com, with the main intention of offering turntable upgrade/tweaking services along with turntable recycling and redesign. In a short period of time we established ourselves as local turntable specialists, successfully recycling, redesigning and upgrading turntables for local clients. Along with commissioned projects, we produced a number of turntables successfully employing our own design ideas. Soon, these models gained popularity among local audiophiles, winning “The Best sound award” at the Belgrade Hi-Files Show 2010.
The idea
Building on the idea of our own turntable design, we wanted to create a high quality record player that would be exceptional. The idea was to combine musicality and beauty in an electro-mechanical object that plays vinyl records. At the same time, our focus was on “easy of use and set-up”.
The result is Hermes DCX turntable.
After extensive listening tests and great success at the 2011 Belgrade Hi-Files show, we decided to offer the Hermes DCX turntable worldwide.
And so, the soulines company was born.

kubrick DCX
This is our most advanced turntable to date. Building around our inverted main bearing and Acrylic platter, developed for the Hermes DCX model, we designed a highly rigid aluminum plinth and sub-plinth, built from differently shaped layers-blocks, coupled together and strategically damped.
Design (dimensions, shape and arrangement of different openings/holes) of plinth and sub-plinth aluminum blocks employs Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequence, thus gaining uniform vibration damping and the reduction of the Moment of inertia in all three planes (along all three axes) to the Center of mass.Even though Kubrick DCX looks asymmetrical or unbalanced, it is in perfect balance, providing smooth platter rotation and steady tracking.
Drive mechanism utilizes high quality DC motor optimized for turntable use. Along with an easy operation and fine speed adjustment feature, an electronically controlled power supply provides stable current for smooth motor rotation.
Inverted main bearing, machined from solid brass and stainless steel to extremely high precision, and solid aluminum arm-board are mounted directly on the sub plinth which is in turn 3-point coupled to the main plinth in order to maximize performance and minimize acoustic break through. The motor assembly is mounted on the main plinth.

elgar DCX
The platter, 40mm thick and weighing 3.2kg, is machined from Acrylic to very high accuracy. The use of mat is completely up to the user preferences, thankfully to the 1.0mm deep recess carved into the top plane of the platter in the middle (for the record paper label) and to the fact that Acrylic proved itself as a great turntable mat “material”.
The motor assembly, consisting of electronically controlled high quality DC motor optimized for turntable use is mounted onto the main plinth.

dostoyevsky DCX
Dostoyevsky DCX was conceived as a “classic” turntable, wooden rectangular box with platter and tone-arm on the top.
The bearing is the heart of every turntable, “everything spins around bearing”, and Dostoyevsky DCX incorporate the same type of inverted main bearing made from solid brass and stainless steel, as is used in our more advanced models, Elgar DCX and Kubrick DCX. It is extremely high precision machined and employs Derlin thrust plate.

Like any other turntable upgrade, the rubber-cork mat is a matter of trial/taste.
We like what it “does” to the turntable sound! Maybe you will like it too!
With precisely punched center hole and accurately printed on heavy paper, laminated on both sides, it should provide an excellent tool to any discerning turntable user.
