"If you feel the need for an outstanding turntable between now and then though, don't think twice."

WHAT HI-FI? SOUND AND VISION

"The Concept is easy to setup, easy to use, and it sounds great. At this price point, it's king."

WHAT HI-FI? SOUND AND VISION

"Tonabnehmergeometrie, Antiskating und Auflagekraft sind beim Clearaudio bereits voreingestellt, [...] und zwar mit so viel Präzision, dass die im Heimbereich üblichen Justagen dagegen wie grobe Schätzungen aussehen."

"Ein rundherum stimmiges Konzept für alle, die einfach nur Schallplatten hören wollen, ohne vorher beim Einstellen möglicherweise graue Haare zu bekommen. Kompliment nach Erlangen!"
