Collection: CLEARAUDIO

Clearaudio is a German high-end manufacturer from Erlangen that develops and builds the complete vinyl chain itself: turntables, tonearms, cartridges, phono preamplifiers, power supplies and record care.

At HD Zürisee you therefore get an analog chain whose parts fit together from the start – from the Concept entry point to the 350-kilo flagship Statement v2. The brand's signature feature is the patented magnetic bearing (CMB): the platter rests magnetically instead of on friction. That's exactly what you hear in the quiet between the notes.

How to find the right Clearaudio model

The question is rarely which turntable is the best, but which combination is the right one. Deck, arm and cartridge have to match each other, and the phono stage has to serve the cartridge cleanly. We put together the chain around your budget, your room and your record collection – and tell you honestly when an upgrade would sit in the wrong place. A stable base belongs to that too: matching stands, including the Innovation Series Stand, are found under hi-fi racks, everything about vinyl under Everything Vinyl.

Honestly speaking

Clearaudio is for you if you want a thoughtfully designed, upgradeable vinyl chain from a single source – cleanly engineered, precise, with resale value. However, you only get the full potential with careful setup. That's exactly what HD Zürisee in Wädenswil takes care of for you. If you're after quick plug-and-play solutions, this is less the place for you; if you're serious about vinyl, exactly the right one.

Frequently asked questions about Clearaudio

Does a Clearaudio chain from a single source pay off?

Yes – deck, arm and cartridge are matched to each other and harmonize. But you can just as well put individual parts, say just a cartridge or a phono stage, into your existing system.

What does a record washing machine like the Double Matrix bring?

Clean grooves mean less crackle, less wear and more sound. On used records the difference is clearly audible. We'll show you how it's done.

Do you align the tonearm and cartridge?

Yes, on request mounted ready to go and precisely set up – so it's right from the first record and your records are treated gently.
