Turntables — Clearaudio OVATION

The OVATION is a belt-drive turntable from Clearaudio, built with a comprehensive three-speed capability in a moderately substantial chassis. The OVATION brings Clearaudio's considered engineering to a serious analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Three speeds are supported - 33, 45, and 78rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor, and a synthetic platter. At 420 x 350 x 135mm and 13.5kg, the OVATION maintains a manageable, moderately substantial turntable chassis reflecting Clearaudio's considered German engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect an accomplished, dependable vinyl playback experience reflecting the comprehensive three-speed capability accommodating vintage 78rpm discs alongside standard vinyl, consistent with Clearaudio's broader considered engineering philosophy.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm tonearm and cartridge compatibility directly with Clearaudio or an authorised dealer to complete this turntable's analogue front end.

Alternatives
