Offered is „Performance DC Paket MM“ by clearaudio as exhibit from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9682970012 ends on 18.12.2026 at 16:04 o'clock.
New pricing sits around €4,883–€4,995, so €3,989 used is a respectable saving rather than a giveaway. Against eight recent comparable listings, though, it lands above the €3,469 median and just below the €4,107 upper quartile: fair for very good condition, but not an obvious bargain.
The Performance DC earns its reputation with a quiet, resonance-controlled presentation, accurate electronic speed control, three-speed operation, and an excellent 40 mm POM platter on Clearaudio’s CMB bearing. It is a refined, beautifully made deck that should reward a good arm and cartridge, and “good” condition makes this a sensible buy if the belt, power supply, platter bearing, and any included arm or accessories are confirmed. At this price, completeness and low wear matter; otherwise, negotiating closer to the median would improve the proposition.
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.
