Clearaudio - Performance DC AiR - Turntable w/ Tracer Tonearm & Hana Umami Blue Cartridge

The Clearaudio Performance DC Air is a precision-engineered high-end turntable designed to combine exceptional speed stability, resonance control, and mechanical refinement with an elegant minimalist design. With the base turntable being $4,900 new, this complete analog package is equipped with the Clearaudio Tracer Black tonearm ($3,100 Upgrade) and the exceptional Hana Umami Blue moving-coil cartridge ($2,500 Upgrade), creating a ready-to-enjoy vinyl playback system built around three highly regarded analog components, totaling $10,500 new.

The Performance DC Air utilizes a resonance-optimized aluminum sandwich plinth with internal damping, a massive 40mm CNC-machined POM platter, machined aluminum sub-platter, and Clearaudio's inverted Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB). Its decoupled DC motor provides electronically selectable 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM operation with user-adjustable fine speed control. Height-adjustable aluminum feet with anti-resonance damping tips provide precise leveling while helping isolate the turntable from unwanted mechanical energy.

The included Tracer Black tonearm provides extensive setup flexibility with adjustable VTA, azimuth, and anti-skate, along with a mechanical bearing system, precision vertical tracking force adjustment, and 1-meter DirectWire cable. Completing the package is the Hana Umami Blue moving-coil cartridge, featuring a Duralumin A7075 body, boron cantilever, Microline stylus, ALNICO magnet, high-purity copper coil wire, and 24K gold-plated output pins. Together, this Performance DC Air, Tracer, and Umami Blue combination offers an outstanding foundation for a serious reference-quality analog system.
