Clearaudio Master Reference AMG Wood CMB Turntable

The Master Reference AMG is a small miracle of mechanical science — and yet, it is more than that: to be a true masterpiece, it had to be designed and crafted with true devotion. Beyond beauty and precision engineering, it is something else: passion.

Three stand-alone motors, sychronized with the Accurate Power Generator, ensure extremely low wow and flutter figures. The resonance-minimizing form of the Master Reference ensures absolute mechanical quietness. The precision-turned silicon/acrylic platter rests on an inverted bearing made of bronze and hardened steel, guaranteeing a long and trouble-free life. The Master Reference accepts up to three tonearms at one time.

Especially for the Master Reference, Clearaudio has designed a new parallel-tracking tonearm, the Clearaudio Master TQ-I. It is a thorough development of the long-established Clearaudio/Souther TQ-I. Superb mechanical design and precise production provide the foundation for a cohesive, dynamic sound throughout the complete musical spectrum.

The Master Reference comes with the industry leading 10 year warranty. Many arm/table packages are available. Please contact your authorized Clearaudio Reference dealer for more informtion on available packages.
