ClearAudio Pack Concept Edition Silver (TP066KV)

Clearaudio Concept Edition Pack silver

This complete pack includes the Concept turntable in silver/white finish, equipped with a Satisfy Kardan tonearm in silver finish and a Virtuoso v2 MM moving magnet cartridge. The entire set is factory-assembled and adjusted, ready to use. The drive is belt-driven, with a DC motor completely decoupled from the chassis. This low-noise DC motor is powered by an external stabilized power source. This decoupling isolates the record from any unwanted mechanical interference.

Acrylic Platter and Precision Bearings

The Concept turntable platter is made of 30 mm thick acrylic. It rests on a bronze spindle mounted on a Teflon bushing. The bearings consist of a polished and hardened steel sleeve within a sintered bronze ring. This design ensures high rotational precision, with a speed variation limited to ± 0.04%.

Chassis and Anti-Resonance Design

The Concept turntable chassis features an optimized design to resist resonance phenomena. It consists of a medium-density natural wood fiber base, encased in aluminum, with a top layer of high-tech hybrid synthetic composite. This combination of different materials effectively eliminates harmful parasitic vibrations.

Satisfy Kardan Tonearm in Carbon and Aluminum

The Satisfy Kardan tonearm is an exceptional piece. Made of carbon and vaporized aluminum, it incorporates ruby-mounted pivots in a “double point” configuration. The anti-skating is ensured by a magnetic system that avoids any mechanical interference. The internal wiring is direct, from the cartridge to the tonearm output, for pure signal transmission.

Virtuoso v2 MM Cartridge: A Revisited Reference

The Virtuoso v2 moving magnet cartridge is an improved version of a model that was long a reference. Its ebony housing, a material with a very natural sound rendering, minimizes resonances. Powerful magnets and revisited coils provide a high output level (4 mV), a wide frequency range (20 Hz - 20 kHz), and channel separation greater than 30 dB, with inter-channel balance below 0.4 dB.

The Virtuoso v2 diamond is cut to achieve a perfect elliptical profile. Rigorous component selection and high-precision assembly ensure remarkable performance. With a compliance of 90 μm/mN and a recommended tracking force of 2.4 g, this cartridge is compatible with a wide range of tonearms.
