While the majority of High-End quality turntables seek to isolate the platter by suspending a sub-chassis with springs, Clearaudio's "Reference" turntable makes use of the fact that the geometrical shape of a body has a fundamental influence on how it vibrates. Damping of vibrations is achieved by choosing an effective shape and through the choice of materials with particulary good damping properties. The platter is carved out of a solid block of acrylic. Naturally, the platter is precisely balanced to the very close tolerances required. Contrary to conventional solutions, the platter of the Reference has been suspended on an inverted bearing.

The Reference comes with the industry leading 10 year warranty.
