THE NEW CLEARAUDIO EMOTION TURNTABLE

A further refinement of the well regarded Emotion turntable featuring higher mass feet and the Direct Wire version of the Satisfy tonearm.
 
     
 
THE NEW CLEARAUDIO PERFORMANCE TURNTABLE

Clearaudio's most affordable turntable package featuring their new Ceramic Magnetic Bearing. The CMB magnetically levitates the 40mm acrylic platter for reduced friction, greater speed stability and additional isolation. The plinth is a composite construction of synthetic marble sandwiching a MDF core with aluminum banding. An outboard AC synchronous motor and Satisfy Carbon Fiber tonearm featuring magnetic anti-skating and 3 point ruby jewel bearings complete the package. Made in Germany and available in black or white finish.

The 2M technology
2M are designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound. We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, weight and size to fit the most common turntables at the market today.

All of the 2M cartridges feature diamonds which are polished to the highest standards in the industry. The 2M Bronze features a nude Fine Line diamond stylus, which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information, making it a must for discerning listeners. Additionally, its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear.

MC Kontrapunkt a
© 1998 Ortofon A/SThis cartridge features Ortofon’s Nude Fine Line elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever.

The listening panel recommends this model as the ideal choice for the afficionado who loves classical music, choral arrangements and acoustic jazz that require perfect balance and consistency from the deepest bass, across the crucial midrange and up through the highest high’s.  The same high output as Kontrapunkt b ensures an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio even with MC inputs with lower gain.
Recommended load: 50 - 500 Ohms

MC Salsa
© 1998 Ortofon A/SMC Salsa have a tiny, nude Elliptical or Fine Line diamond, mounted on a very light and rigid cantilever. This results in low equivalent stylus tip mass and cantilever compliance on 14 and 15 μm/mN, which means that MC Salsa will give excellent results with virtually any tone arm. The armature has been designed as a tiny lightweight cross, and the coils are mounted at exactly 90 degree to each other (just like the walls of the record groove), which is improving the channel separation. The magnet and improved damping system has allowed its natural pivotal point to be placed immediately behind the armature, this is giving an extremely precise moving system.

Sonneteer Sedley  pre-amp
The Award winning Sonneteer Sedley is the first phono stage to come out of the Sonneteer stable. It has been designed to cope with both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil type cartridges and offers a selection of load matching options to accommodate most of what the market has to offer. The Sedley takes the minimalist approach as it is primarily designed to complement the Campion and Alabaster amplifiers, although should find itself at home in most systems

The DXP
SE is a no compromise MM and MC Reference phono amplifier designed for use in the finest analogue systems. The amplifier's complimentary, fully symmetrical Dual Mono design improves channel separation, distortion, signal to noise ratio and accuracy whilst maintaining the purity and coherence of the audio signal. Using the Artaxerxes.X module, this head amplifier features three switchable cartridge gain settings, one for MM and one for standard output MC cartridges. The third setting is dedicated to Roksan's Shiraz and higher output MC cartridges.
 
 
     
 


PHONOMENA II PHONO STAGE

The new Musical Surroundings Phonomena II Phono Stage from Michael Yee is a replacement for the award winning Phonomena. The Phonomena II is based on the existing Nova Phonomena but without the battery pack. The Phonomena II was introduced at the 2008 CES Show together with a Benz Micro SLR cartridge and the sound was magic!

Built in California, the Phonomena II is a phono stage with incredible flexibility and performance. Based on the discrete, circuit developed by designer Michael Yee for the Nova, the Phonomena II has rear panel accessible switches for gain and loading.

The Phonomena II is a complete phonograph preamplifier with RIAA equalization that amplifies the output signal of a phonograph cartridge, either moving-coil or moving-magnet, up to a nominal "line level". The Phonomena II may be used with a receiver or an integrated amplifier. If you use separate components, a line level control unit (preamplifier) is required before the power amp, since there is no independent volume control for the Phonomena II unit. The Phonomena II's power supply connects to the wall with the supplied wall-mount transformer.

 

 
    
 
 
Clearaudio Smartphono Phonostage

The Basic phonostage offers both MM and MC capabilities, with enough gain to drive the lowest output cartridges. It is a very simple unit to operate with a single button switching between MM and MC functionality. Another nice feature is it dedicated power transformer, which resides outside the actual phonostage to keep the audio circuit as quiet as possible. The Basic is available in both Black and Silver finish.
