The terms “entry level”, “affordable” and even “cheap” are all, in their own way, completely relative. The cheapest Ferrari you can buy – the Roma – generally retails for around £200,000, but that’s mere pocket change when you could be forking out nearly £400,000 for a red-coated SF90 Stradale.
£1099 / $1500 for a turntable is, in Clearaudio’s world, a bit of a steal. The German hi-fi brand has rarely sunk to such depths of affordability, building its name predominantly on high-end offerings which, thanks to their premium engineering and astronomical price tags, are designed in part to make the neighbours turn an envious shade of green. Want a Clearaudio Statement record player? That’ll be £145,000, please.
