CLEARAUDIO CONCEPT TONEARM
“Everything about the [Concept] tonearm—how it looks, its smooth cuing mechanism, its high-quality wiring and cartridge clips—speaks of Clearaudio’s attention to detail...” – Michael Fremer, Stereophile USA
ABOUT
The Concept tonearm is Clearaudio’s most affordable tonearm, available only on the Concept turntable. It features our proven friction-free magnetic bearing technology, which eliminates bearing chatter and offers superior stability. The Concept tonearm's magnetic bearing allows the Concept turntable to be shipped with cartridge pre-installed and calibrated for plug-and-play convenience. The low mass, rigid aluminum arm tube uses a two-piece aluminum headshell with adjustable azimuth for accurate alignment of the phono cartridge and easy in-field replacement. Clearaudio’s hardwired Direct Wire tonearm cable assures signal integrity, ideal for all high-quality cartridges, including low-output moving coils.
