Clearaudio Performance DC Turntable
Performance DC
High-end for all
The Performance DC turntable is a complete package designed to open up the high-end listening experience to those ambitious music lovers who are willing to handle with the basic features of tonearm and cartridge adjustment, and who simply seek the best in music reproduction. Excellent tracking properties and hyper-accurate speed synchronisation ensure the ultimate listening pleasure, whatever your choice Performance DC package.
The Clearaudio Performance DC turntable, in its enhanced version with a wood chassis, offers even greater resonance control.
A newly developed DC motor with high-precision bearings and flat belt-drive, in conjunction with a 40mm-thick POM platter that rests on a Clearaudio ceramic magnetic bearing (CMB), provides optimal conditions for the correct sampling of the record groove.
The elegant and simple appearance of the Performance DC with its clear lines matches its excellent audio performance. For lovers of our moving magnet (MM) cartridges we offer both versions of the Performance DC (with/without wood chassis) as a package with the Clarify tonearm and Virtuoso V2 cartridge. For those who prefer a moving coil (MC) cartridge, again both versions are offered as a package, featuring our Satisfy Kardan Aluminium tonearm and our outstanding Talisman V2 Gold cartridge. The third and ultimate option, again offered in both versions, is the peerless combination of our award-winning TT5 tangential tonearm and essence mc cartridge.
Excellent tracking properties and hyper-accurate speed synchronisation ensure the ultimate listening pleasure, whatever your choice Performance DC package. Combine your own Performance DC.
