For sale is a display demo Clearaudio Concept turntable with a satisfy black tonearm and a very gently used Concept MC moving coil cartridge in excellent condition. The original box, packaging and manuals for the cartridge and turntable are included as well. This is a great sounding and very well made turntable that will be sure to impress even the most demanding of listeners. The combination of these Clearaudio ingredients, such as, the Concept MC and the Satisfy Black tonearm have crafted a perfectly balanced, smooth, and intensely beautiful sounding piece of equipment.
We are selling this display demo because this model has been discontinued and we are replacing it with the new Clearaudio Signature turntable. The cartridge that comes with this table has had less than 20 hours of play time on it, so it is essentially a new cartridge. There is also a slight cosmetic ding in the silver wrap on the turntable. (This can be seen in the photos above). However, this turntable is still in fantastic shape overall and has no other blemishes. This is an excellent choice if you're looking to upgrade your system and take your turntable capabilities to the next level. Take advantage of this deal for an incredible piece of German engineering.

The Concept turntable delivered "blacker" backgrounds than I'm accustomed to at this price. The 'table ran quietly, physically and sonically, and the system was extremely well damped. A tap on the plinth while a record was playing produced very little output—not that an impulse test like that has anything to do with a turntable's rejection of outboard musical feedback. The Concept was completely free of the cardboardy or hollow, drum-like colorations often produced by moderately priced 'tables. At normal to moderate listening levels, the sound of the stylus riding in the lead-out groove was barely audible.
Fitted with the Concept MC cartridge, Clearaudio's plug'n'play Concept turntable-tonearm-cartridge combo is exceptionally attractive, easy to set up and use, and seems better built than its price would suggest. It's a quiet, smooth performer that excels at midrange smoothness and transparency of the sort that makes speakers seem to vanish—even my $65,000/pair speakers." - stereophile.com
