Clearaudio Innovation turntable panzerholz wood - less tonearm CL 30 TT INOV W
NZ$12,495.00 ea (incl. GST)
The Clearaudio Innovation Wood Turntable features a resonance-optimized dual tier chassis based upon proven Clearaudio three-point design - a combination of Panzerholz (bulletproof wood), aluminium skins, and aluminium pods. The Clearaudio Innovation Wood Turntable's high-density, dynamically balanced 2.75” POM (Polyoxymethylene) platter is mated to a half inch thick, CNC-machined stainless steel sub-platter and Clearaudio’s patented CMB (ceramic magnetic bearing) technology, where the platter magnetically levitates on an inverted bearing attached to a low-friction ceramic shaft. A high-torque DC motor exclusive to Clearaudio is equipped with an OSC (optical speed control) circuit controlled in real time via an infrared sensor. The end result is a highly musical, detailed presentation with very accurate pitch and exceptional rhythm and pace. The Clearaudio Innovation Wood Turntable is also dual tonearm capable and plays 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm and 78 rpm speeds. "The Clearaudio Innovation Wood is a brilliant achievement and sets new price/performance standards in several areas. Its pitch stability is stunning, its soundstaging approaches reference quality. I applaud Clearaudio for migrating so much innovative technology down to more affordable products like the Innovation Wood." ....... Jim Hannon, The Absolute Sound, With the "Innovation" turntable clearaudio set new standards in High-End turntable manufacturing. The "Innovation" comes with a new developed optical speed control (OSC). The "OSC" consists of an infrared sensor, high

precision reflection scale and corresponding speed circuit. This outstanding development has already achieved the highest ratings by the German Hifi-magazines - Audio and Stereoplay. By their independent laboratory the clearaudio "Innovation" turntable was measured with the lowest speed variation ever. An infrared sensor combined with Clearaudio's optical speed control (OSC) ensures an outstanding level of speed stability – a prerequisite for optimal listening. A high-torque decoupled DC motor effortlessly rotates the precision-machined 70mm-thick platter made of high-density acrylic. The platter rotates in a virtually friction free environment atop the 15mm-thick stainless steel sub platter, thanks to Clearaudio's patented ceramic magnetic bearing (CMB). A convenient choice of three rotational speeds is also at your fingertips, and it is possible to install a second tonearm.

Review If you are in market for a turntable in this price range and you value transparency, speed, and drive you should give the Innovation a listen. It is a wonderful turntable. - Dagogo - Jack Roberts The Clearaudio Innovation seems to be the final step in the changes in design that began with the company’s Statement and Ambient turntables, and then moved into more of their tables. They first started using “Panzerholz” instead of acrylic for the base of the turntable. Then came the incredible Ceramic Magnetic Bearings, and with the Statement table, a real Magnetic Drive. Now with the Innovation, they have moved away from even a “clear” platter; they have moved from acrylic to a combination of a composite durlin platter with a stainless steel sub platter. Then, there is the new high-torque motor. These design changes are great examples of the trickle down theory of engineering.
