Viella 12
Introduced 2012$16,500 MSRP
The Viella 12 (V12) was AMG's debut turntable, an unsuspended, mass-loaded, belt-driven design CNC-machined in-house from aircraft-grade aluminum, integrating a proprietary 12" tonearm with a helicopter-rotor-inspired dual-pivot bearing (The Absolute Sound review; Stereophile). Its origins trace to an earlier prototype shown under the Roeschlau-Lorenzi name at Munich High End 2010 (Stereophile).
