Clearaudio Performance DC Turntable

Chris Beeching has posted a review of the Clearaudio Performance DC turntable (£2495 including cartridge) at The Ear. His conclusions:

“So, after a couple of months in my system, does this Clearaudio combo have any failings? Well, setting up, to get the very best out of it can take some time and care, but then this investment will be more than amply repaid in musical enjoyment. Dynamics and recorded-acoustic representation are of a very high order, as is what is called ‘presence’, you can get a real feel for the performer doing their stuff. While having punch when needed, it also exhibits subtlety and deftness with small inner-detail stuff. My only criticism, and it’s being really picky is that it lacks the ultimate resolving power of an ultra-fi set-up, but if the rest of your system’s not up to that level you’d never miss it. Overall the Performance DC is highly recommended as good value for money, it’s a highly creditable performer which should do well at its price point, and which seems to have few, if any vices.”
