Description

Beneath the sleek, contemporary exterior is a level of technical sophistication unique to Clearaudio. The concepts body is carefully crafted from medium-density wood fiber (or, optionally, pressure-formed solid wood) with a selection of smart made-to-match surface finishes. The bodys upper layer incorporates a special high-tech satined plastic compound designed to minimize unwanted resonance.

The DC motor is fed by an external voltage-stabilized power supply and is completely decoupled from the turntables body to ensure no mechanical interference.

The Satisfy Black tonearm features high-quality, handmade Swiss vertical and lateral bearings composed of tungsten steel and polished sapphire. 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. Anti-skating control is applied by an innovative magnetic system that acts on the side of the bearing housing. Clearaudios hardwired Direct Wire tonearm cable assures signal integrity, ideal for all high-quality MM and MC cartridges. The package is completed with the high quality Virtuoso Wood MM or Concept MC cartridge (Upgrade possible).
