Around a decade ago now, we dubbed the Clearaudio Concept the best turntable over £800 during our What Hi-Fi? Awards 2014 and 2015, dubbing it an easy-to-use, nicely made player that delivered sonic agility and poise in spades. We loved it, and we've been hoping for a sequel ever since.
That sequel, or "upgrade" as Clearaudio is calling it, has finally arrived in the shape of the Concept Signature turntable, a new player which the brand claims offers "an entry point into high-end hi-fi in which accessibility and ease-of-use are as paramount as sonic performance". The new spinner is billed as the complete "package", if you buy the whole deck together with a tonearm, cartridge and technical parameters pre-set to get you plugged in and playing within minutes out of the box.
