現在使用している CLEARAUDIO BASIC PLUS MM/MC PHONO STAGE が 2010 The Absolute Sound Product of the Year Award Winner! になりました。
2011年度も The Absolute Sound 2011 Editors' Choice Award Winner となっています。シンプルで安価ですが、いい音を出してくれます。
というより無色透明、ノイズ極小。というより無色透明、ノイズ極小。別売のバッテリー駆動 Accu+ に切り替えると静寂そのもの。
"The Basic Plus is everything a modestly priced phonostage should be. It's compact yet elegantly finished and appointed. It's switchable between MM and MC cartridges, with plenty of gain for the latter. A robust outboard power supply is included and yields superb isolation from hum and RFI. Most significantly it's supernaturally quiet, presenting a spacious and delightfully resolved soundstage with heart-stopping bass resolution." - Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, October 2010, Issue 206
