The Clearaudio Performance SEP is easily one of best turntable/tonearm packages in its class. It is an example of the high standards that both Clearaudio and Musical Surroundings have set for the analog marketplace. The combination of the solid-body composite plinth and ceramic-magnetic platter bearing (CMB) is a proven winner. Superb speed accuracy and additional isolation provided by the magnetically levitated platter bearing brings you substantially closer to the musical performance.

Celebrating their 30th anniversary in precision analog design and manufacturing, Clearaudio is an industry leader. The Performance SEP package is machined to exacting tolerances in their German factory, then hand assembled and calibrated by trained technicians. Innovations of the Performance SEP include the CMB platter bearing and a composite plinth made with synthetic granite. The motor is completely isolated, sitting apart from the plinth. Combined with the CMB, this allows your cartridge to play only what's on the record.

The deck, when set-up properly, has one of the least obvious sonic signatures you can get from a turntable. The plinth's influence on the sound seems minimal and all that's left is you and the vinyl.
