ClearAudio Pack Concept Edition Gold

Clearaudio Concept Edition Gold Pack

The Concept Edition Gold Pack is a high-end turntable from the German manufacturer ClearAudio. This complete and ready-to-use pack combines the Concept turntable, the Satisfy Kardan tonearm, and the Jubilee MM moving magnet cartridge. It offers exceptional sound quality paired with an elegant design.

Chassis and Design

The Concept turntable chassis is made from multiple layers of materials carefully selected for their anti-resonant properties:

• A base of natural medium-density wood fiber, encased in aluminum
• A top layer of high-tech hybrid synthetic composite

This unique combination effectively eliminates parasitic vibrations that could alter sound quality. The clean and contemporary lines of the dark wood chassis give it a sober and refined aesthetic that harmoniously fits into any interior.

Drive and Motor

The turntable drive is powered by a DC motor decoupled from the chassis. This design isolates the groove from mechanical interferences that may come from the motor. The external stabilized power supply ensures stable and precise rotation of the platter.

The synthetic material platter rests on a massive 30 mm thick aluminum sub-platter. The bronze spindle, mounted on a Teflon bearing, ensures smooth and silent rotation. The rotation speed is electronically controlled with a precision of ±0.05%.

Satisfy Kardan Tonearm

The Satisfy Kardan aluminum tonearm is a key element of this pack. Its unique features make it a top choice:

• Ruby-mounted pivots in a “double point” configuration for increased sensitivity
• Magnetic anti-skating eliminating any mechanical disturbance
• Direct wiring from the cartridge to the phono preamplifier for a pure and uninterrupted signal

The carbon and vaporized aluminum design of the Satisfy Kardan tonearm combines lightness and rigidity, ensuring precise groove tracking and faithful reproduction of the finest details.

Jubilee MM Phono Cartridge

The ClearAudio Jubilee moving magnet (MM) cartridge completes this exceptional pack. Its high-end features ensure dynamic and detailed sound reproduction:

• Aluminum cantilever for high reading precision
• Multi-layered wood body matching the turntable finish, promoting vibration dissipation
• Integrated metal weight optimizing reading stability

Thanks to its meticulous design, the Jubilee MM cartridge offers a wide soundstage, remarkable dynamics, and a pleasant listening smoothness.

Ease of Use

Despite its high performance level, the Concept Pack remains simple to implement. The entire set is factory-assembled and adjusted, allowing immediate use without requiring any particular technical skills.

ClearAudio has thus succeeded in offering a complete turntable, combining cutting-edge technologies and ease of use, to satisfy both enthusiasts and seasoned audiophiles.
