It started with making the plinth of some of their turntables out of layers of “Panzerholz”, a solid bulletproof wood that is used in Germany for limousines and some special armored trucks. If you haven’t noticed, about three years ago Clearaudio started making some major changes with their turntables. I, for one, commend them for their 32 years’ devotion to vinyl playback and not abandoning it for something more profitable. Still, there were others who felt they had sacrificed the natural warmth and tonality of vinyl for speed and transparency. Most of all their turntables have from the very start set new levels for transparency and speed for playing vinyl. Almost everyone found them beautiful to look at, too. One of their early turntables, the Master Reference, was The Absolute Sound’s first five-star component in the late 1990s. Their cartridges were well received from the start and many considered them to be the absolute state of the art. Clearaudio is a German company that has been dedicated to advancing the art of analog playback for the last 32 years. ![]() This is the third Clearaudio turntable I have reviewed.
