Pear Audio Analogue

Pear Audio Analogue is a Slovenian hi-fi brand closely associated with Peter Mezek and the legacy of Tom Fletcher’s turntable design work. The company’s roots are generally traced to the early 1990s, with Pear Audio formed in 1991 and the current Pear Audio Analogue turntable line developing from that analogue-focused heritage.

The brand is best known for handcrafted turntables and tonearms, including models such as Kid Howard, Kid Punch, Kid Thomas, Aras, and the Cornet tonearms. Its catalog is strongly weighted toward vinyl playback rather than a broad all-source lineup, with little evidence of major activity in speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables.

In the market, Pear Audio Analogue sits firmly in the high-end, niche-boutique category. It appeals to committed vinyl buyers who value artisanal construction, classic design cues, and a musical, old-school analogue presentation over mass-market breadth or feature-heavy hi-fi.
