“If King Tut had a turntable, he’d own a Triangle Art Anubis.”
–Positive Feedback
In ancient Egypt the god Anubis was a guide in the afterlife. Our TriangleART Anubis coaxes the soul of music from vinyl to you using the key technologies found in the Reference SE: high-torque motor, platter, and diamond-coated stainless steel bearing technology. The Anubis is visually striking, finished in real 24kt gold and gloss black (chrome and matte black also available in any combination). This is our most compact design, employing a fully separate three-piece configuration that permits infinite adjustment of the motor and tonearm tower. We recommend our 12” Osiris MkII tonearm as the perfect complement to the Anubis turntable, but the flexibility of this design permits tonearms of any length, according to your preference. The Anubis is a high-mass design, packing 160 pounds of proprietary metal alloy into its three stylish elements to dampen all vibrations and maximize the musical resonance of our metallurgical formula. Ordinary spindle bearings are inadequate for the Anubis’ mighty platter, which uses a non-inverted diamond-coated stainless steel ball bearing to provide intensely quiet and liquid-smooth performance. Hydraulic pressure is maintained to attenuate pressure on the ball and further reduce friction. The jet-black background of this turntable facilitates the faithful reproduction of every soft, inner detail and even the most subtle micro and macro dynamics. Bass is tight and articulate against a light, airy soundstage with spectacular holographic imaging. A true reference turntable.

I started out by looking at used Triangle Art turntables in the usual spots, Audiogon and USAudioMart and found a couple of older Signature models for sale. Made some inquiries and realized I should call the owner, Tom Vu for some possible advice. Once on the phone with him, I was immediately surprised how friendly and open Tom is. Tom worked with me to basically get a new Anubis and his latest tonearm, Osiris and his flagship cartridge the Apollo. Let’s just say he made me an offer than I couldn’t refuse.
Less than a week later, a beautiful crate shows up at my door. I did the basic setup after watching his videos, and then fine-tuned the Anubis with a video chat and a couple of phone calls.
I’m not really a novice music enthusiast and turntable owner. I own a maxed out Garrard 301 with two EMT tonearms with very expensive cartridges, and the Shindo platter/bearing assembly. I also own an AMG Giro with the W2 optical cartridge.
The Anubis played incredibly dynamic from the start. It literally took me a couple of days to reconcile in my head what I was hearing. My soundstage was massive. Top to bottom and left to right and back and forth. I started playing all my favorite albums because what I was hearing was so detailed yet so musical. I’ve had a couple of friends over just to verify my ear’s findings. The Anubis is the furthest I’ve ever heard into each and every record I played. The background is startlingly quiet, the notes are airy and detailed and dynamic and the mid-range feels like it will reach out and grab you. Then the super tight, deep bass, wow. Tom describes his Apollo cartridge as the musicality of a stone bodied Koetsu, but with much more detail. He is not wrong. As the days go on, this Anubis is sounding better and better. Really, the only thing that may be better is live music, but if I were a betting man, I’d put my money on Tom Vu and Triangle Art and will enjoy this music from the comfort of my home.
I’m so happy I took the initiative to call Tom and took the leap of faith that I did. It was a big risk, but a massive reward for me.
I’m going to have Tom build me a phonostage now, that’s how much I’m hooked…..
Thank you
