If ever there was an ultimate bargain in high end audio, surely the Air Tight Acoustic Masterpiece T-01 Turntable should be considered for the title.
Weighing in at around 22Kg, the T-01 is very well built to say the least. Made in Japan and designed by legendary audio designer Atsushi Miura (formally of Luxman before starting Air Tight) the T-01 was designed to be a platform to demonstrate the rest of the Air Tight range of analogue audio producs.
This beautiful example is in superb condition and is equiped with an Origin Live Encounter tone arm which has been wired with Nordost cable. Fitted on the arm is an Ortofon MC Quintet Black S cartridge, recently upgraded and retipped. It has less than 20 hours and is almost run in.
I will also include a Sutherland Engineering KC Vibe phono stage that matches the system nicely and also punches well above in the dollar for performance area.
If you wanted to upgrade your vinyl listening or perhaps just get a player to enjoy vinyl, this complete package is sure to impress.
Located in Adelaide. Audition available.

WARRANTY INFORMATION (Private Seller)
The item being advertised is sold "as is", and no warranty should be assumed unless otherwise indicated and agreed between the Buyer and the Seller. Photos representing the item being advertised form part of the description unless otherwise specified.
This content has been generated using AI analysis. While we strive to ensure accuracy and quality, AI-generated material may occasionally contain errors or omissions. All information should be independently verified, and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the publishers or editors.
Limited user reviews and community discussions are available for the Air Tight Acoustic Masterpiece T-01 Turntable and Tonearm Package, with most search results focusing on other Air Tight products like amplifiers rather than this specific model.
No direct user opinions on sound quality, build quality, reliability, strengths, or weaknesses were found for the T-01 package itself. One show report describes it as an "attractive black turntable" that accommodates two tonearms and comes equipped in the US market, suggesting a premium, multi-arm design aimed at high-end setups.
The manufacturer's site confirms the T-01 as part of their precision lineup but provides no review details. Broader Air Tight brand feedback from related products praises lush, musical sound and solid construction (e.g., trouble-free tube amps with smooth controls), but these do not apply to the T-01 turntable.
Overall reputation appears niche and positive within audiophile circles for Air Tight gear, though the T-01 lacks substantial user-driven discussion in available sources. For more insights, audiophile forums like Audiogon or diyAudio may have sparse mentions, but none surfaced here.

The Air Tight Acoustic Masterpiece T-01 Turntable and Tonearm Package has an estimated fair market price range of AUD 8,500–12,000 based on recent listings, with new units around AUD 10,000–12,000 and used units AUD 8,500–10,000.
A current new listing prices the T-01 turntable alone at €5,000 (approximately AUD 8,300 at recent exchange rates), while a 2012 report noted a US package with tonearm (Jelco SA-750D or optional SME) at $6,000 (about AUD 9,000 adjusted for inflation). No recent used T-01 listings appear in available data, but comparable Air Tight Acoustic Masterpiece components (e.g., AM-201) sell used for €1,650 (AUD 2,750), suggesting the full T-01 package holds strong value retention typical for high-end vintage hi-fi.
Key factors affecting value:
- Condition: New or mint retains 90–100% of list price; used/moderate wear drops 10–20% due to potential platter, belt, or bearing issues in belt-drive AC motor designs.
- Package inclusions: Bundles with premium tonearms (e.g., SME 9") command 20–30% premiums over turntable-only.
- Market and location: Rarity in Australia boosts prices 10–15% over Europe/US; demand for Japanese hi-fi brands like Air Tight drives premiums.
- Accessories and provenance: Original packaging, manual, and service history add 5–10%; age (vintage model from early 2010s) influences collector appeal.
Prices are conservative estimates derived from limited recent data (mostly European); Australian-specific listings are scarce, so monitor local hi-fi forums or dealers like AXISS Audio for updates.
