LAB REVIEW
The Clearaudio Concept Turntable is the most affordable option from this German company. It's 'refined' in every way. The high - end design and component interaction show it's a well - thought - out product, not just a bunch of pricey parts. The curved and beveled features add to its charm, something rare in this price range.
From the inside out, it's designed for easy use and high performance. Setup is a breeze (just place the platter on the spindle out of the box), and the high - quality Concept MM cartridge is pre - calibrated. The speed - changing knob makes it even more user - friendly. The chassis, motor, and tonearm work together to deliver ultra - low noise.

Using your Clearaudio Concept AiR Turntable is easy. When you first get it out of the box, simply place the platter on the spindle. That's it for the basic setup. You can then use the speed - changing knob to select the speed you want (33, 45, or 78 rpm). Remember, you'll need a phono preamp to use this turntable. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Use the level gauge to make sure it's properly balanced. You can use the bearing oil to keep the moving parts in good condition. And don't forget to register your turntable with Clearaudio to get the 2 - year manufacturer warranty. If you want to protect it, you can buy the recommended dust cover separately. It's made of high - quality acrylic and has cutouts for handles and cables.
