Thanks for a great insight Michael. The investment in equipment to produce top quality gear like this is phenomenal. The moaners that say equipment is overpriced, should be made to watch videos like this & then they might realize why things cost what they cost. Loved seeing all of it.
Awesome and amazing all that hard and quality work that goes into making these great Clearaudio products. Thank you TrackingAngle, Michael and the Clearaudio Team for making this great video. Happy 45th Anniversary Clearaudio. May you continue for another 45+ years !
I did buy a Clearaudio Tracer arm, used Ovation body and used Goldfinger, totally happy with this combo Does it get better? I guess, sure Could I have get away much cheaper with same or even better results? Maybe, no clue At some point all that comparing was driving me crazy, always with different dealers, rooms, rigs ... so I ended that and bought the Clearaudio combo
So cool ! I remember Suchy mentioning he is doing this back around Munich Hi-End 2023. So nice to see it materialize. Old fashioned turntable manufacturing meets ultra modern technology..... Wish I could afford a decent Clearaudio TT...
I have a Clearaudio Innovation and some other Clearaudio products. All I can say is that the products itself are well designed and specially the Innovation is great but I had many problems with them and all I can say is that there service sucks BIG TIME. I had massive problems with the tone arm lifts, with the magnetic antiskating and with there cartridge. The way they reacted made me very angry and I CAN NOT RECOMMEND this brand.
Thanks so much to Mr. Fremer and to the company for doing this kind of tour. I really appreciated experiencing the pride that these folks take in their work. The modern machined look and feel is quite unique to Clearaudio. As the gentleman stated the tools are so important, not just the CNC setups. The structural research that Clearaudio does regarding the resonance reduction will give their products and their company so much longevity into the future! They do a very good job of marketing and explaining the advantages of their products. One thing they do need to improve somehow is customer service because dealers are just brokerages. However, since their products are reliable and very high performance, there is very little service to do. Cheers
Very enjoyable. Really surprised you did not get an opinion on ultrasonic cleaning since they obviously want to do the best job of cleaning vinyl but they apparently have not embraced the concept with a product unless it's under development.
Mike, what is the bare minimum you could live with? I am retiring soon, and will be selling most of my gear to send my granddaughters to college. Going to hang on to my Bob Carver amps, DeHavilland pre, and my Frank VanAlstine-modded Grado/Dual setup. Wires by Radio Shack. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you for sharing this. I love my Rega P10, but Clearaudio tables always impress me.

Great to see so many familiar faces, makes me miss the high end audio industry
Yes, a party!
YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR SOUND QUALITY ON THESE VIDEOS MICHAEL ! no excuses
I think Mikey was hungry. It sounds like he was eating the microphone for the first few minutes.
Worse: a second live mic was in my pocket that I thought was off…
Live mic in pocket unbeknownst to me…not a meal….well for some, maybe…..
Going into sound room - Door sound used on thriller album as sample opening 🤣 Thanks for the great vid
@ 53.30 the world's squeakiest door.
A Clearaudio turntable is one I hope to own one day. I wanted the Concept but they raised the price last year I think.
Expensive hobby the question here what are they gonna do With All Those when they turn 90 years old
Great point.. in the meantime, just enjoy the inconveniences of Analog playback ! :)

Their best double matrix has a form of high frequency cleaning. Not quite cavitation but not just vacuum.

Michael, journalistic reporting 101. Please state the location you are reporting from. “At the factory” does not communicate anything. Thx.
The headline reads: "Clearaudio electronic GmbH, Celebrates 45th Anniversary With Party and Factory Tour"
And knowing changes what 🤔 It’s written in the description.

I called this retired guys toys to spend their hard work money when they were younger,Look around their all older guys They have all the time indoors
Another boring video Michael, just watch the first 25 minutes and had to stop watching. Oh well..on to electronic fix and repair audio gear videos.
Boring for you... but can be very fascinating for those that appreciate how complicated these mechanical devices are...
