Clearaudio SmartPower 12V Power Supply Purchased new by me from authorised Australian retailer, Addicted to Audio, on 07/06/2024, so it's only six months old. Sold the turntable that uses this, so this is up for sale. Brilliant build quality as all Clearaudio equipment is. This helps to stabilise the speed and provide a constant 12v to either a Concept or Performance DC turntable. It is in excellent as new condition with no marks or scratches on the unit anywhere. Comes with power supply, instructions and original box. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, Cash on pickup Region/State:
This is a buyer’s market for premium turntable power supplies, and A$1,000 for a like-new SmartPower 12V looks fair-to-good rather than a steal. I can’t pin down a clean AUD benchmark for this exact unit from the available comps, but Clearaudio’s higher-end pricing generally sits well above entry-level territory, and a pristine example at this figure should interest anyone matching the right deck and power setup.
The upside here is that Clearaudio’s appeal is usually in quieter, more stable motor drive and a more polished presentation than the basic wall-wart route. A like-new unit is especially attractive if it comes with the correct cable, PSU, and original packaging, since those accessories matter on niche power-supply upgrades. I’d treat it as a sensible buy if it plugs into your table without fuss; just confirm compatibility and that the seller can demonstrate stable operation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Clearaudio, a pinnacle of German analog engineering, traces its roots to 1978 in Erlangen, when founder Peter Suchy patented the company's inaugural moving-coil cartridge. This family-owned enterprise, now steered by Peter's children—Patrick, Veronica, and Robert Suchy—has upheld a relentless pursuit of perfection, encapsulated in its philosophy: "Take the best and make it better, only then is it just good enough." Over 45 years, Clearaudio has evolved from humble beginnings into a global benchmark for vinyl playback, crafting products in its high-tech facility amid the scientific hub of Friedrich-Alexander University.
The brand's portfolio centers on high-end turntables, renowned for their transparent acrylic components, parallel-tracking tonearms, and precision mechanics that deliver unparalleled rotational stability. Complementing these are meticulously engineered moving-coil cartridges, phonostages, and tonearms, with extensions into analog accessories and even reissued Deutsche Grammophon classical recordings. While not venturing deeply into digital realms or speakers, Clearaudio's focus remains unyieldingly analog, prioritizing symbiotic magnetic, mechanical, and electrical symmetry for lifelike sound reproduction.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Clearaudio commands respect among discerning vinyl enthusiasts worldwide, serving over 80 countries with turntables that redefine standards. Its boutique reputation stems from in-house innovation and flawless German craftsmanship, appealing to collectors and serious listeners who demand reference-level performance without compromise.
