ClearAudio Performance DC Turntable / Clarify Tonearm - Silver

Performance DC Turntable
The Performance DC is a turntable designed to open up the high-end listening experience to those ambitious music lovers who are willing to handle the basic features of tonearm and cartridge adjustment, and who simply seek the best in music reproduction.
A newly developed DC motor with high-precision bearings and flat belt-drive, in conjunction with a platter of 40mm thick POM which rests on a ClearAudio ceramic magnetic bearing (CMB), provide optimal conditions for the correct sampling of the record groove.
Excellent tracking properties and hyper-accurate speed synchronisation ensure the ultimate listening pleasure, regardless which Performance DC package you choose.
The main chassis consists of a complex sandwich of materials: aluminium and HDF material.
The powerful and smooth-running DC motor is integrated within and is effectively decoupled by the main chassis. The motor is hidden beneath the platter and drives the precision machined aluminium sub-platter via a precision machined POM main platter and are supported by ClearAudio‘s patented CMB Ceramic Magnetic Bearing.
The drive system is operated by four blue illuminated buttons, ergonomically integrated into the front left of the chassis.

Clarify Tonearm
If mechanical parts do not touch, there can be no friction. The Clarify tonearm uses magnetic bearings and is therefore completely frictionless. This ClearAudio innovation transmits even tiny signals without any interference and remains absolutely unaffected by resonances.
The Clarify can be used with virtually all cartridges with a weight from 2.5 to 17 grams, but reaches its maximum performance potential and richest sound when combined with the Ovation turntable and a ClearAudio moving coil (MC) cartridge.
