The entry to high-end analog, the Clearaudio Concept is now available in a Dark Wood version that adds a solid baltic-birch ply plinth with dark stain and the Satisfy Black tonearm.
It builds upon the strong features of the Concept:
Belt-driven POM platter with weighted rim for enhanced flywheel effect
Isolated 12v DC Motor with electronic speed selection and rear-mounted speed calibration
Aluminum sub-platter coupled to a polished and sintered steel bearing shaft with bronze bushings and Teflon thrust pad.
