Clearaudio has gone BLACK!

Postby JackD201 » Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:27 pm

Just saw the pics of the new CA Innovation TT chock full of new tech including an IR based speed sensor and the now ubiquitous CMB bearing assembly. What surprised me was the massive platter is no longer made of acrylic but rather POM which is better known as Delrin. What's the big deal? CA's "housesound" as MSM puts it is attributed mainly by the Suchy bros choice of high grade acrylic. So? Delrin is more identified with VPI's early house sound which has come full circle after their own fling with acrylic with the advent of the new Super Platters in that they have returned to the use of.....that's right POM/Delrin. Now both use Delrin with metal.

News is that CA has been voicing their new stuff to be warmer. First I heard of this was the reports on the new entry level MCs and later a report from a Goldie owner who went Goldie 2. Now it seems CA is doing the same thing they did for their carts to their tables.

Delrin being Delrin, which means it comes in any color as long as it's black, the CA Innovation is a mean looking black widow of a turntable. It will be debuted in the US at CES this week. I am very curious as to how well CA has begun to reinvent itself. One thing for sure, it means that the Suchy brothers are responsive to their clientele. I wish them luck!

Really? Pa-link ka naman diyan Arnie. I did see a pic of VPI's mew table that looks like a HW-19 but mass loaded a la Shindo and non-sprung. ]:)

Times are hard. :puke:

Gone are the days when companies kept on doing what THEY think is the best. :devil:

More than ever, companies now have to accept and adopt what the customer wants. :angel:

"We want warmer sound!" Clearaudio said: " Here ya go with the black stuff." ]:)

"We want retro!" VPI said: "Here ya go with the Idler and the new wooden TT." ]:)

Customer is King! :emo:
