Clearaudio Master Innovation Bundle – High-end turntable with universal and TT3 tonearm

This configuration was assembled by us using demo products. Should you require delivery and/or installation, please feel free to contact us.

The ultimate high-end analog bundle for uncompromising vinyl playback

The Clearaudio Master Innovation is among the most sophisticated and sonically powerful high-end turntables in its class. This exclusive bundle combines this reference-grade turntable with two fundamentally different tonearm designs and perfectly matched, top-of-the-line cartridges. Included are the Clearaudio Universal tonearm with VTA lift , the Clearaudio TT3 tangential tonearm , the Stradivari V2.1 MC and Maestro V2 MM cartridges, and the matching Master Innovation stand .

The unique feature of this system lies not only in the exceptional quality of its individual components, but also in the combination of two technically completely different tracking principles on a single turntable. The Universal operates as a high-precision radial tonearm, while the TT3 implements the ideal of tangential record tracking consistently and entirely mechanically. This means that two distinct sonic philosophies are readily available at any time – without compromises in the turntable or setup.

A reference-class drive

The Master Innovation was developed for exceptionally smooth operation, maximum speed stability, and minimal resonance. Weighing approximately 60 kilograms , with a flywheel mass nearly doubled compared to the Innovation model, and featuring a sophisticated multi-layer construction, it offers ideal conditions for exceptionally precise record playback.

The dynamically balanced platter consists of a 70-millimeter resonance-damping high-performance plastic and a 15-millimeter thick stainless steel sub-platter . Together with the patented magnetic bearing technology, this creates an extremely stable rotation system that reproduces even the finest musical details with ease.

An electronically controlled DC motor with Optical Speed Control (OSC) and an additional flywheel ensure a consistently precise speed at 33, 45, and 78 rpm . The magnetic decoupling of the drive effectively reduces mechanical interference and contributes significantly to the exceptional smoothness of the turntable's operation.

The Master Innovation offers space for up to three tonearms, thus creating the ideal platform for demanding analog systems.

Two tonearms – two paths to perfect record playback

This bundle opens up a possibility that is exceptional even in the high-end sector: Two completely different tonearm concepts are available at any time on the same turntable.

Clearaudio Universal – maximum precision and flexibility

The Universal tonearm is one of the most versatile radial tonearms in the high-end sector. Its ultra-rigid carbon tonearm tube combines low weight with high rigidity, reducing resonances to a minimum. Precision ball bearings in the horizontal and vertical axes ensure virtually vibration-free operation.

Azimuth, tracking force, and VTA can be adjusted conveniently and with extreme precision. The included VTA lift further enhances the Universal's functionality by allowing for fine-tuning of the vertical tracking angle even during playback – a feature that offers real added value, especially with records of varying thicknesses or audiophile pressings.

Clearaudio TT3 – uncompromising tangential technology

The TT3 tangential tonearm follows a fundamentally different technical approach. It operates entirely mechanically and deliberately forgoes servo assistance or electronic control. This leaves the delicate music signal free from additional electronic interference.

The virtually frictionless guidance on polished glass and high-precision ball bearings enables exceptionally smooth tonearm movement. At the same time, the TT3 follows the cutting geometry of the record almost perfectly and, by design, minimizes tracking error.

The integrated height adjustment allows for convenient fine-tuning and was directly adopted from the larger tangential tonearms of the Clearaudio series.

Two pickups for two different sound characteristics

The two tonearms are complemented by two perfectly matching high-end cartridges.

Stradivari V2.1 MC

The Stradivari V2.1 represents the pinnacle of Clearaudio moving-coil technology. Its body, made of ebony aged for months, coils of 24-karat gold, and the patented V2 technology enable exceptional dynamics of up to 85 dB , as well as the highest level of detail resolution and spatiality.

Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with the utmost care. The result is a natural, finely differentiated music reproduction with impressive transparency and exceptional precision.

Maestro V2 MM

The Maestro V2, a high-quality moving magnet system, completes this bundle. Its low-resonance ebony body, optimized stylus profile, and multiple measurements of each individual cartridge ensure exceptionally homogeneous channel balance and minimal phase and transient distortion.

The high output voltage and linear frequency response enable a spatial, dynamic sound image with controlled bass, clear treble and remarkably natural musicality.

Fully equipped

The following items are included in the delivery:

• Clearaudio Master Innovation turntable
• Clearaudio Universal tonearm

FOR VINYL LOVERS WHO LISTEN AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

This bundle is aimed at ambitious vinyl lovers, collectors, and high-end enthusiasts who want to fully exploit the potential of analog music playback. The combination of a reference turntable, two different tonearm principles, and two perfectly matched top-of-the-line cartridges allows for direct comparison of different tracking philosophies and their application depending on the recording or personal preference.

The result is not an ordinary high-end turntable, but an analog reference system that combines technical perfection, exceptional manufacturing quality and maximum sonic flexibility in a unique overall solution.
