The BJA silentAir series is a natural evolution of the superMod series into the high-end segment.
Precision-Built. Vibration-Free. Remarkably Quiet.
Upgraded Chassis
The original Lenco chassis is replaced with two 4 mm stainless steel plates, precision-cut using water jet technology. This delivers enhanced rigidity and stability.
Isolated Motor System
The motor is mounted on a separate chassis, completely isolated from the main bearing. As a result, motor vibrations (from the mains-powered Lenco motor) are no longer transmitted to the bearing or picked up by the cartridge—ensuring ultra-quiet operation.
Original Lenco Components
Only the motor, main bearing, and idler wheel from the original Lenco turntable are retained—everything else is upgraded for modern performance and sound quality.
High-End Performance, Accessible Price
The BJA silentAir series offers true audiophile-grade performance at a price that’s within reach.
BJA-silentAir Series - Built for Pure Analog Performance
The BJA-silentAir turntables are crafted with passion and precision. Each model is fully customizable and available with or without an interchangeable armboard - giving you complete freedom to adapt your setup. Whether you have one beloved tonearm or a growing collection, the SilentAir series is designed to evolve with you.
Two Configuration Options
Fixed armboard – perfect for a dedicated tonearm setup
Interchangeable armboard – ideal for users who want to switch tonearms with ease
Need multiple armboards? No problem — I’ll assist you with fitting and setup.
Precision Craftsmanship in Every Detail
Every SilentAir turntable is CNC-machined from high-grade birch plywood with a two-part plinth design. A natural cork isolation layer separates the plinth sections to minimize vibration and improve sound clarity.
All electronical connections are locatd on the lower plinth
Built-in underside covers protect the motor and tonearm wiring
Easy access makes servicing easy
Cable channels are routed directly into the wood for a refined, internal finish
Finish Options to Match Your Style
Choose from a range of beautifully handcrafted finishes:
Hard oil finishes (in a variety of wood tones)
Textured lacquer (available in black, white, or shades of grey)
Top plate options:
4 mm solid hardwood (e.g. walnut, rosewood, oak — each piece is unique!)
4 mm acrylic glass (available in many vibrant colors)
No two BJA-SilentAir turntables are the same — yours will be one of a kind.
Tonearm Options & Installation
You’re welcome to use your own 9" or 12" tonearms, and I’ll gladly assist with mounting and alignment.
Or, choose one of my own hand-built BJA tonearms, available in both 9" and 12" lengths - designed for sonic accuracy and smooth operation.
Included Upgrades & Enhancements
Every turntable includes a full overhaul of vintage components and a curated set of performance upgrades:
TJN mod, bearing mod, bitumen damping, and stabilization ring
Internal ring wiring and Schuko power connector
RCA (cinch) terminals, integrated into the CNC design
Idler Wheel Replacement & Upgrades
Over time, the idler wheel may show signs of wear, such as drying out or spinning less smoothly. To keep your turntable performing at its best, I offer replacement with premium-quality idler wheels from AudioSilente or Audio Creative for a small additional fee.

Introducing the Exclusive ‘Stone Edition’
Elevate your listening experience with the extraordinary ‘Stone Edition,’ featuring a meticulously CNC-milled 20 mm granite top plate.
Crafted in collaboration with a master stonemason in Austria, each top plate is precision-cut from 20 mm-thick granite, selected from approximately 50 exquisite granite varieties. This bespoke option is a true statement piece—exceptionally rare, uniquely beautiful, and undeniably elegant.
While it commands a premium, the unmatched durability and stunning aesthetics make the Stone Edition a worthwhile investment for discerning audiophiles seeking something truly special.
Introducing the ‘Soundeck Special Edition’
A Unique Collaboration for Superior Sound
With permission from Soundeck HiFi Enhancement in England, I proudly present the ‘Soundeck Special Edition’—a truly unique upgrade designed to elevate your turntable’s performance.
Soundeck specializes in highly damped materials, kits, and components that tackle sound and vibration control challenges. Their solutions are used both in OEM applications and as retrofit kits to reduce noise in existing audio setups and machinery.
The Soundeck Special Edition Includes:
Soundeck Black Platter Mat (PM)
Soundeck Stainless Steel Damping Puck (DPS)
Soundeck Damping Cartridge (DC1)
Soundeck Mk2 Minis Damping Feet
(For these round dampers, I’ve developed special birch plywood feet. The Soundeck Mk2 Minis sit between the turntable and these wooden feet, creating a wood–Soundeck–wood sandwich that, to my ears, lifts the sound and adds a sense of openness - making the turntable truly “fly.”)

All models from the silentAir series are compatible with the use of an outer platter ring!
