Clearaudio is one of the most innovative companies with regards to the cultural possession vinyl record. In the last decades, the manufactory located in Erlangen has always succeeded in reaching new sound performance for the medium. With the two-piece “Absolute Phono” Clearaudio now offers the first active solution for mc pickups. The signal is amplified directly at the source, which is said to increase the signal-to-noise ratio up to 10 decibel. In combination with the external main amplifier stage – which is solely equipped with best parts – this results in an outstanding analogue system, which doesn’t need to fear an digital signal source.
