  • High performance in a nutshell

    Here at Clearaudio, we have developed new and better ways of satisfying the audiophile's needs. We offer an unparalleled selection of the three main types of tone arms: single point bearing radial, multi-point bearing radial and tangential tone arms. Our range of tone arms features many cutting-edge technologies, including several Clearaudio patented designs. Even the radial tone arms deliver ground breaking technology and include many patented systems such as our cutting-edge magnetic bearings, as well as precision ball-race, unipivot, gimbal, and hybrid bearings.

    The Unify tone arm represents the summit of unipivot radial tone arms, and stands out not only for its elegant looks. This exceptional tone arm is available in 9, 10 and 12-inch lengths and in both black and silver liveries.
  •  Clearaudio Verify .... Elegant Listening

    The Verify tone arm presents Clearaudio's innovative and ground breaking magnetic bearing technology in an elegant package. Super solid, resonance-optimised carbon fibre is the basis for a user friendly radial design.

    The Verify can be used with virtually all cartridges with a weight from 2.5 to 19 grams, but reaches its maximum performance potential and richest sound when combined with the Clearaudio Concept turntable and a Clearaudio moving coil (MC) cartridge.

  • Precision engineering in the pursuit of the best sound

    Clearaudio's V2 MM technology uses ebony as a resonance resistant body. Other ingredients of the recipe for success are the most effective reduction of moving mass, an optimized polishing technique for the stylus and highly effective cartridge damping.

    The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point.

    The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality, spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tone arms. All the cartridges in this series are made with housings of hand-polished ebony , the key to record-breaking weight values.

  • Moving Coil

    Once you get bitten by the Vinyl bug and start to embrace the wonderful world of analogue playback you will discover that Turntables are, an assembly of three separate devices, namely the turntable, tonearm and cartridge. As the quality of the equipment increases you will also discover that these parts are usually interchangeable and upgradable. None more so than the cartridge, the smallest part but the most influential in terms of sound quality, providing of course that the table and arm are modestly competent.

    Moving coil cartridges have always been considered exotic and desired by enthusiasts. Why, simple physics really. The stylus picks up the modulations in the groove, transmits them up the cantilever where, it must articulate either a magnet (MM cartridge) or a coil (MC cartridge) to generate the electrical signal. Now, a finely wound coil is much lighter than a hunk of magnet hence the stylus tracks better and easier, the cantilever flexes less and the coils generate a superior signal. Like I said simple physics really. So why then do we have moving magnet cartridges? Again not rocket science, they are cheaper to make, a lot more robust, easier to use and resistant to abuse. These reasons make the MM cartridge standard for entry level systems and need not be dismissed as within these constraints there are fine and worthy examples.

    Moving Coils are the holy grail then and this always comes at a cost, usually MC cartridges are north of a thousand dollars, (there are several notable exceptions, Denon DL-103 and Audiotechnica OC9-III for example). Until now! Hana MC cartridges, made by Excel Sound Corporation (Japan) have shattered this price point. Both Elliptical and Shibata versions versions are available in both high and low output configurations making for an easy match for any phono stage. The EL and EH both are priced at an affordable $755.00 making this well reviewed device a must audition for anyone moving up in the listening stakes.
