ClearAudio Performance DC Jubilee Pack

Clear Audio Performance DC Jubilee Turntable

The German brand Clearaudio offers a package consisting of the Performance DC turntable, the Profiler tonearm, and the Jubilee MM moving magnet cartridge. This combination provides a high-quality listening experience for discerning vinyl enthusiasts.

The Performance DC turntable is designed to offer uncompromising listening pleasure. Its compressed wood chassis, sandwiched between two aluminum plates, ensures optimal stability and excellent vibration isolation. The 40 mm thick platter, precisely CNC machined, contributes to smooth and stable rotation.

Equipped with a decoupled and damped motor, the Performance DC offers precise rotational speed with a variation of less than 0.03%. Three speeds are available: 33, 45, and 78 RPM. The simplicity of installation and factory pre-configured settings allow for quick and hassle-free setup.

Balanced and Realistic Sound

The Performance DC excels in sound balance, ensuring a harmonious musical experience across the entire audio spectrum. Instruments are reproduced with remarkable precision, and the soundstage comes to life in three dimensions, revealing unsuspected subtleties in the recordings.

For audiophiles looking to go further, the turntable offers advanced adjustment possibilities for tracking force, azimuth, tonearm height, and counterweight. These adjustments allow for optimized playback based on the characteristics of the chosen cartridge.

Profiler Tonearm

The Profiler tonearm represents a perfect symbiosis between Clearaudio’s Tracer and Satisfy models. Available in black or silver finish, it is made of high-quality aluminum and stainless steel.

The Profiler stands out with its double bearing in the vertical pivot and its resonance protection dome. These features contribute to the high-quality playback of the tonearm.

The tonearm tube, made of lightweight aluminum alloy, is equipped with specific damping points for increased stability. The cartridge weight adjustment ranges from 3.5 to 17 grams, offering great flexibility.

Direct Wiring for Pure Signal Transmission

The Profiler tonearm benefits from 1.1-meter Direct Wire PLUS cabling, terminated with RCA connectors. This technology allows the signal to move uninterrupted from the cartridge to the phono preamplifier, thus preserving the purity of the music.

Jubilee MM Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Jubilee MM cartridge incorporates all of Clearaudio’s expertise in moving magnet cartridges. Its ultra-resistant wooden body, “PanzerHolz,” significantly reduces resonances and colorations.

The balance between inductance, capacitance, and sensitivity of the Jubilee MM reduces distortion and crosstalk while increasing output level and frequency response. The redesigned coils and powerful magnets contribute to these performances.

The elliptical diamond, mounted on an aluminum cantilever, ensures precise groove tracking. Exceptional sorting and tight tolerance in assembly guarantee consistent quality.
