Resources & Reviews

In The Absolute Sound review of the TechDAS Air Force series, the Air Force models—including those sharing key technology with the AIR FORCE 111—were praised for their remarkably silent backgrounds and ability to convey micro-detail and atmosphere of the recording. The Absolute Sound+1

According to Hi-Fi News, the turntables using the air-bearing and vacuum hold-down design offer extremely high speed accuracy and bass extension, thanks to the high-mass platters and carefully engineered chassis. Hi-Fi News+1

Positive-Feedback described one model in the series as “heavy, massive, compact… with a platter moving around on a thin film of air, with a vacuum holding down a record… a great example of engineering and Japanese precision of the highest order.” Positive Feedback
