New Entry Point Turntable For Clearaudio’s Innovation Range
August 16, 2016 Comments Off on New Entry Point Turntable For Clearaudio’s Innovation Range
‘” It may be at the entry level of the Innovation series, in reality the ‘Basic’ is anything but. Say Clearaudio: ‘Its design and construction bear all of the key Clearaudio hallmarks: intelligently-selected materials, precision engineering, painstaking craftsmanship and innovative technologies’. The resonance-optimised chassis features Clearaudio’s iconic three-point design with its ‘sandwich’ construction of Panzerholz (a solid, bullet-proof wood) and aluminium. Speed stability is achieved with Clearaudio’s decoupled custom-built high-torque DC motor with their patented Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB) and Optical Speed Control (OSC). CMB allows the dynamically balanced platter to magnetically levitate on an inverted and polished ceramic bearing shaft with polished sintered bronze insert.”

“The Essential II by no means leaves the duel red faced, and we must keep in mind our reference system – far beyond anything these turntables are likely to find as partners – is exposing these discrepancies with an inordinate amount of transparency, but it is hard to come to any other conclusion than that Rega have raised the bar here in almost every respect.”

PRO-JECT DEBUT CARBON ESPRIT SB REVIEW
August 4, 2016 Comments Off on PRO-JECT DEBUT CARBON ESPRIT SB REVIEW
” Playing Laurie Anderson’s Strange Angels [Warner Bros] with the Debut I was struck by just how much of the recording’s character comes through. This is a polished, and distinctly eighties sounding album with sumptuous bass and mountains of reverb on the kick drum. The Debut let’s you know all of this and more in its own effortless style. Pino Paladino’s fretless bass sounds great and the guitar shines with a brilliance born of expensive studio time. The track made it clear that with an amp and speaker of appropriate price, the Debut is well balanced; it may be a little smooth, but that makes the job of the system easier than a more revealing source. Pro‑Ject didn’t get to 23 models with massive investment and a huge marketing budget; it did so by making turntables that sell and sell well. The Debut Carbon Esprit SB will undoubtedly join those ranks.”

Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB Review
August 3, 2016 Comments Off on Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB Review
” The melody is sprightly, with plenty of space surrounding the solo instruments.
As the orchestra sweeps in, we think the effect could be just a bit grander: the strings should sound strong and powerful, and instead they seem a tad reticent through the Pro-Ject.”

Fluance RT81 turntable – Review
July 16, 2016 Comments Off on Fluance RT81 turntable – Review
“I started with my favorite David Bowie album, “Low,” and that immediately led to Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn.” For a change of pace I popped on Duke Ellington’s “’55” LP. Man, the sheer intensity of this 61-year-old music floored me, Ellington’s men rocked! The RT81 was clean and quiet — it feels like a $400-$500 turntable. I guess you can tell by now I’m impressed”
