Clearaudio at Cloney Audio
Back in 1978 Clearaudio’s founder Peter Suchy and his team developed their first moving coil cartridges. The patented fully symmetrical design and the choice of a boron cantilever were pioneering approaches which found a ready home in high end Hi-Fi. Today’s Clearaudio cartridge lineup covers all bases from affordable moving magnet designs up to the exotic Goldfinger. They have one thing in common - they all sound great.
Of course a great cartridge is nothing without a partnering turntable and tonearm - and often, a dedicated phono stage. Based in the science city of Erlangen, Clearaudio is unusual in designing and manufacturing products in all these categories. It is also marked out by the versatility of its designs - for example, with linear and tangential tracking tonearms employing a variety of bearing technologies, unipivot, ball, and magnetic bearings.
Speaking of bearings, Clearaudio’s signature is its Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB). By using the physics of magnetic repulsion, Clearaudio has managed to create a bearing where the spindle is effectively suspended in thin air, radically reducing noise which can feed back into the turntable platter, obscuring the recording’s fine detail. The CMB complements the use of inert acrylic platters and the wonderfully named Panzerholz, a material which has demonstrably superior damping properties.
With the resurgence of interest in vinyl, we are especially delighted to represent Clearaudio in Ireland. With the value for money Concept through to the Innovation and no holds barred Master Reference Series, Clearaudio shows just what the familiar black disc is really capable of.

The new raised design, as well as the outsourced motor unit, now provide the possibility of mounting a second tonearm. The outsourced 48V motor throttled to 24V, which is already decoupled from the chassis by 18 O-rings ("IMS") using the existing suspension, ensures even better resonance control. The additional mass turntable underneath the actual platter gives this heavy-duty turntable dreamlike rotational values and a weight of at least 30 kilograms. Thanks to the same motor control with self-calibrating technology and spring mounted drive design as used with its younger brother, the Master Jubilee sets a new standard in terms of measurements, in part with improved measurement methods, beyond imagination.
“WOW and Flutter” measurements, which are required to create a new level of measurement technology, are likely not achieved by any other turntable manufacturer. The Professional Power 24V power supply is also included with the Master Jubilee.
