This one is not a box. The Clearaudio Celebrity Al Di Meola Edition is shaped like an electric guitar — specifically, a Gibson Les Paul — and it looks exactly as extraordinary as that sounds. The guitar silhouette, the warm wood-grain finish, the control knob positioned right where a guitar’s volume dial would be: every visual detail tells a story. This collaboration between Clearaudio, the revered German turntable maker, and legendary jazz guitarist Al Di Meola didn’t start with a marketing brief. It started at the High End Munich audio show in 2023, where Di Meola was serving as brand ambassador. The two parties struck up a conversation, and the idea grew organically from there. The result is the first model in Clearaudio’s new Celebrity Series — a line honoring great musicians with instruments worthy of their legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood-finish version carries the natural grain of real rosewood veneer across the guitar-contoured body, trimmed in bright white binding that echoes the look of a fine instrument. It’s a genuine statement piece, equally at home in a dedicated listening room or a curated living space. But make no mistake: this is not a novelty. Inside the sculpted body is a serious, fully configured hi-fi turntable built to Clearaudio’s exacting German standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSerious Engineering Hidden in Plain Sight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turntable’s body is made from high-density fiberboard (HDF) — the same dense, resonance-resistant material used in quality speaker cabinets and instrument bodies. It’s shaped under CNC machinery, finished with real rosewood veneer, and built to damp the vibrations that can blur the music you’re trying to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of it is a 30mm high-density engineering plastic platter riding on a precision CNC-machined aluminum sub-platter. The platter spins on a polished and hardened steel axle running in a bronze bushing, with a Teflon thrust pad at the base — a bearing design that minimizes friction and noise. A flat drive belt connects the motor to the platter through Clearaudio’s Tacho Speed Control (TSC) system. TSC is what sets this turntable apart from most in its price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s why TSC matters: a belt-drive turntable’s speed is affected by small changes in belt tension, room temperature, even how hard the stylus presses into a groove. Most turntables simply run the motor at a fixed rate and hope for the best. TSC continuously monitors the platter’s actual speed in real time and makes immediate corrections. It also performs an automatic speed calibration every single time you power the table on. The result, according to Clearaudio, is wow and flutter of less than ±0.05% — a figure that places it among the most speed-stable turntables available. More stable speed means more stable pitch, which translates directly to music that feels more solid, present, and real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC motor itself is isolated from the chassis using Clearaudio’s Innovative Motor Suspension (IMS) — a system of multiple O-rings that absorb motor vibrations before they can travel into the plinth and reach your cartridge. This technology was borrowed directly from the Clearaudio Reference Jubilee, a turntable that retails for many times the price of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverything You Need to Play Records, Right Out of the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most common frustrations in turntable shopping is discovering that your new purchase is only half the equation. You still need to find and install a compatible tonearm, then source and align a cartridge, then calibrate everything. The Clearaudio Celebrity Al Di Meola comes fully assembled, with tonearm mounted, cartridge installed, and critical adjustments pre-set and tested at the factory. Unbox it, level it, loop the belt, connect it to your phono preamp, and you’re playing records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonearm is a special version of Clearaudio’s Profiler — a proven design with good tracking geometry and stable bearing tolerances. The included Celebrity MM (moving magnet) cartridge was developed specifically for this edition and draws from the design of Clearaudio’s Performer V2. Moving magnet means the cartridge is compatible with the standard phono input found on most integrated amplifiers and receivers, and replacement styli are user-installable without tools. The cartridge features an elliptical diamond stylus on an aluminum cantilever, which provides accurate groove tracing, and its output voltage of approximately 3.6 mV pairs well with most phono stages. Channel separation measures 24 dB at 1 kHz and tracking force is set to 2 grams — all factory-adjusted before the table leaves Erlangen, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control knob, styled after a guitar’s volume dial and signed with Al Di Meola’s name, handles everything: one press starts the platter at 33⅓ RPM, a second press shifts to 45 RPM, and holding it puts the table in standby. Turn the knob in calibration mode to fine-tune speed by hand. Two small LED indicators confirm which speed is active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Reviewers Are Saying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7Review (October 2024 and January 2025) tested the Celebrity Al Di Meola extensively and found the performance genuinely matched the design ambition. Reviewers praised its “very good speed stability” and “low rumble values,” noting that tonal balance was “spot-on.” They described the cartridge’s sound character as having a more sonorous tone and added sense of physicality while preserving transparency and soundstage detail. Their overall verdict: a “fully developed, mature turntable” that proved to be a serious piece of audio equipment rather than just a design object. They noted the system was particularly good at capturing acoustic instruments and voices, preserving what they called the music’s “aura and soul.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobb Report (February 2026) placed the Celebrity Al Di Meola in context alongside the broader analog revival, highlighting that it comes ready to play with a bespoke tonearm and cartridge.

If your amp or receiver has a dedicated “PHONO” input, you can connect the Celebrity directly — that input already includes the equalization that vinyl playback requires. If your amp only has line-level inputs (AUX, CD, TAPE, and so on), you’ll need a separate phono preamplifier between the turntable and the amp. We carry a wide range of phono preamps at every price point and would be glad to help you find the right one. Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the cartridge already installed and aligned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Clearaudio installs, aligns, and tests the Celebrity MM cartridge at their factory before the turntable ships. Tracking force, azimuth, and anti-skating are all pre-set. You’ll attach the counterweight, verify tracking force using the included balance scale, and loop the drive belt — but there’s no need to align the cartridge yourself. The owner’s manual walks through the entire setup process clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Tacho Speed Control (TSC), and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTSC is Clearaudio’s real-time speed monitoring system. Most belt-drive turntables run their motor at a fixed speed and assume the platter will follow precisely. TSC actually watches the platter’s rotation continuously and corrects the motor if anything drifts — temperature changes, belt aging, stylus drag. It also recalibrates automatically every time you turn the table on. The practical result is more stable pitch and a more solid, grounded sound over long listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else do I need to start playing records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll need a phono preamp (or an amp with a phono input), an amplifier, and speakers — or a pair of powered speakers that include a built-in phono input. The turntable, tonearm, and cartridge are all included and ready to go. A set of RCA interconnect cables to connect to your phono stage is the one thing not included. We’re happy to help you put together a complete system; call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a manual or automatic turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celebrity is a manual turntable. It does not have an auto-return function. When your record reaches the end, you’ll lift the tonearm yourself using the cueing lever. This is standard practice for most hi-fi turntables, and many vinyl listeners prefer it — it keeps the mechanism simpler and the signal path cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace the stylus myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Celebrity MM cartridge uses a user-replaceable stylus, which means you can swap it at home without removing or realigning the cartridge body. Replacement styli should be available through Clearaudio or authorized dealers. Keeping a fresh stylus is one of the best things you can do for both sound quality and the long-term condition of your records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow limited is “limited” really?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearaudio has confirmed this edition is capped at exactly 1,000 units worldwide, each numbered. The included Impex Records Elegant Gypsy LP is also limited to 1,000 copies, with serial numbers individually matched to each turntable. We can’t make investment predictions, but the combination of Clearaudio’s track record, Di Meola’s legacy, and the hard unit cap gives this package genuine collectible weight. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same as Clearaudio’s Concept turntable, just shaped differently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot quite. The Celebrity Al Di Meola uses Clearaudio technology derived from both the Concept Signature and, more notably, the Reference Jubilee — including the TSC speed control and IMS motor suspension systems. Those two features in particular go above what you’d find in a standard Concept. The chassis, the purpose-built Celebrity MM cartridge, and the complete package are all unique to this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a dust cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar-shaped body doesn’t accommodate a traditional rectangular hinged dust cover, and none is included in the package. We’d recommend checking with Clearaudio’s US distributor, Musical Surroundings, about any available protective options. Give us a call and we’ll help you find a solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSee It in Action\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearaudio debuted the Celebrity Al Di Meola Edition at High End Munich 2024.

This one is not a box. The Clearaudio Celebrity Al Di Meola Edition is shaped like an electric guitar — specifically, a Gibson Les Paul — and it looks exactly as extraordinary as that sounds. The guitar silhouette, the warm wood-grain finish, the control knob positioned right where a guitar’s volume dial would be: every visual detail tells a story. This collaboration between Clearaudio, the revered German turntable maker, and legendary jazz guitarist Al Di Meola didn’t start with a marketing brief. It started at the High End Munich audio show in 2023, where Di Meola was serving as brand ambassador. The two parties struck up a conversation, and the idea grew organically from there. The result is the first model in Clearaudio’s new Celebrity Series — a line honoring great musicians with instruments worthy of their legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood-finish version carries the natural grain of real rosewood veneer across the guitar-contoured body, trimmed in bright white binding that echoes the look of a fine instrument. It’s a genuine statement piece, equally at home in a dedicated listening room or a curated living space. But make no mistake: this is not a novelty. Inside the sculpted body is a serious, fully configured hi-fi turntable built to Clearaudio’s exacting German standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSerious Engineering Hidden in Plain Sight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turntable’s body is made from high-density fiberboard (HDF) — the same dense, resonance-resistant material used in quality speaker cabinets and instrument bodies. It’s shaped under CNC machinery, finished with real rosewood veneer, and built to damp the vibrations that can blur the music you’re trying to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of it is a 30mm high-density engineering plastic platter riding on a precision CNC-machined aluminum sub-platter. The platter spins on a polished and hardened steel axle running in a bronze bushing, with a Teflon thrust pad at the base — a bearing design that minimizes friction and noise. A flat drive belt connects the motor to the platter through Clearaudio’s Tacho Speed Control (TSC) system. TSC is what sets this turntable apart from most in its price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s why TSC matters: a belt-drive turntable’s speed is affected by small changes in belt tension, room temperature, even how hard the stylus presses into a groove. Most turntables simply run the motor at a fixed rate and hope for the best. TSC continuously monitors the platter’s actual speed in real time and makes immediate corrections. It also performs an automatic speed calibration every single time you power the table on. The result, according to Clearaudio, is wow and flutter of less than ±0.05% — a figure that places it among the most speed-stable turntables available. More stable speed means more stable pitch, which translates directly to music that feels more solid, present, and real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC motor itself is isolated from the chassis using Clearaudio’s Innovative Motor Suspension (IMS) — a system of multiple O-rings that absorb motor vibrations before they can travel into the plinth and reach your cartridge. This technology was borrowed directly from the Clearaudio Reference Jubilee, a turntable that retails for many times the price of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverything You Need to Play Records, Right Out of the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most common frustrations in turntable shopping is discovering that your new purchase is only half the equation. You still need to find and install a compatible tonearm, then source and align a cartridge, then calibrate everything. The Clearaudio Celebrity Al Di Meola comes fully assembled, with tonearm mounted, cartridge installed, and critical adjustments pre-set and tested at the factory. Unbox it, level it, loop the belt, connect it to your phono preamp, and you’re playing records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonearm is a special version of Clearaudio’s Profiler — a proven design with good tracking geometry and stable bearing tolerances. The included Celebrity MM (moving magnet) cartridge was developed specifically for this edition and draws from the design of Clearaudio’s Performer V2. Moving magnet means the cartridge is compatible with the standard phono input found on most integrated amplifiers and receivers, and replacement styli are user-installable without tools. The cartridge features an elliptical diamond stylus on an aluminum cantilever, which provides accurate groove tracing, and its output voltage of approximately 3.6 mV pairs well with most phono stages. Channel separation measures 24 dB at 1 kHz and tracking force is set to 2 grams — all factory-adjusted before the table leaves Erlangen, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control knob, styled after a guitar’s volume dial and signed with Al Di Meola’s name, handles everything: one press starts the platter at 33⅓ RPM, a second press shifts to 45 RPM, and holding it puts the table in standby. Turn the knob in calibration mode to fine-tune speed by hand. Two small LED indicators confirm which speed is active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Reviewers Are Saying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7Review (October 2024 and January 2025) tested the Celebrity Al Di Meola extensively and found the performance genuinely matched the design ambition. Reviewers praised its “very good speed stability” and “low rumble values,” noting that tonal balance was “spot-on.” They described the cartridge’s sound character as having a more sonorous tone and added sense of physicality while preserving transparency and soundstage detail. Their overall verdict: a “fully developed, mature turntable” that proved to be a serious piece of audio equipment rather than just a design object. They noted the system was particularly good at capturing acoustic instruments and voices, preserving what they called the music’s “aura and soul.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobb Report (February 2026) placed the Celebrity Al Di Meola in context alongside the broader analog revival, highlighting that it comes ready to play with a bespoke tonearm and cartridge.

If your amp or receiver has a dedicated “PHONO” input, you can connect the Celebrity directly — that input already includes the equalization that vinyl playback requires. If your amp only has line-level inputs (AUX, CD, TAPE, and so on), you’ll need a separate phono preamplifier between the turntable and the amp. We carry a wide range of phono preamps at every price point and would be glad to help you find the right one.

Clearaudio installs, aligns, and tests the Celebrity MM cartridge at their factory before the turntable ships. Tracking force, azimuth, and anti-skating are all pre-set. You’ll attach the counterweight, verify tracking force using the included balance scale, and loop the drive belt — but there’s no need to align the cartridge yourself. The owner’s manual walks through the entire setup process clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Tacho Speed Control (TSC), and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTSC is Clearaudio’s real-time speed monitoring system. Most belt-drive turntables run their motor at a fixed speed and assume the platter will follow precisely. TSC actually watches the platter’s rotation continuously and corrects the motor if anything drifts — temperature changes, belt aging, stylus drag. It also recalibrates automatically every time you turn the table on. The practical result is more stable pitch and a more solid, grounded sound over long listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else do I need to start playing records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll need a phono preamp (or an amp with a phono input), an amplifier, and speakers — or a pair of powered speakers that include a built-in phono input. The turntable, tonearm, and cartridge are all included and ready to go. A set of RCA interconnect cables to connect to your phono stage is the one thing not included. We’re happy to help you put together a complete system; call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a manual or automatic turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celebrity is a manual turntable. It does not have an auto-return function. When your record reaches the end, you’ll lift the tonearm yourself using the cueing lever. This is standard practice for most hi-fi turntables, and many vinyl listeners prefer it — it keeps the mechanism simpler and the signal path cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace the stylus myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Celebrity MM cartridge uses a user-replaceable stylus, which means you can swap it at home without removing or realigning the cartridge body. Replacement styli should be available through Clearaudio or authorized dealers. Keeping a fresh stylus is one of the best things you can do for both sound quality and the long-term condition of your records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow limited is “limited” really?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearaudio has confirmed this edition is capped at exactly 1,000 units worldwide, each numbered. The included Impex Records Elegant Gypsy LP is also limited to 1,000 copies, with serial numbers individually matched to each turntable. We can’t make investment predictions, but the combination of Clearaudio’s track record, Di Meola’s legacy, and the hard unit cap gives this package genuine collectible weight. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same as Clearaudio’s Concept turntable, just shaped differently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot quite.

The new Double Matrix Professional Sonic is their best solution to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eClearaudio's Double Matrix Professional Sonic Record Cleaning Machine was honored with an Editors' Choice award for 2017 by \u003ci\u003eThe Absolute Sound\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.  “Built like a tank and easy to use, this is a high-quality record cleaner,” notes reviewer Jonathan Valin. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"The machine is extremely well-made, quiet and seems to do the job as claimed based on the record I had cleaned on it,\" reports Michael Fremer in his January 7, 2015 CES show review for \u003ci\u003eAnalogPlanet.com.\u003c\/i\u003e \"Also it is completely automatic: place a record on the platter, clamp and at the push of a button, it goes through the complete cleaning cycle simultaneously on both sides.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Double-Sided Cleaning Advantage\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Double Matrix Professional Sonic machine excels at thoroughly and safely cleaning your precious vinyl records. One reason for its top-of-the-line cleaning capabilities is its simultaneous double-sided record cleaning. The advantages of a double-sided record cleaning machine include time savings and the significant benefit of protecting the cleaned record side from being in contact with a dirty surface.  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSelectable Automatic and Manual Cleaning Modes\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith its selectable automatic and manual modes, the Double Matrix Professional Sonic allows you to run the entire cleaning cycle at the touch of a button, or you can manually control each step of the process via the user-friendly controls. Automatic cleaning is available in both normal and 2x mode for records requiring extra maintenance. Wash and vacuum cycles are bi-directional and you can control both platter direction and speed during wash and vacuum cycles. An anti-static brush prevents static build-up on your cleaned discs. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Articulated Washing and Vacuuming System\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eClearaudio has created a new articulating washing\/vacuuming system that incorporates sonic vibrations to better deep scrub the record groove. These cleaning applicators automatically adapt to different thickness records, assuring better performance and ease of use.  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eClearaudio’s R\u0026amp;D team has learned that this approach performs a more thorough job of cleaning without risking damage to the vinyl record, versus ultrasonic cleaners commonly used to clean hard materials such as jewelry and glass. The sonically articulating cleaning pads can be easily removed for washing as well as replacing the micro-felt strips. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eMade from Heavy-Duty Materials for Continuous Operation\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis isn't a professional-quality record cleaning machine in name only. Made from high quality heavy-duty materials, the Double Matrix Professional Sonic is specially designed for continuous operation. An LED “light ladder” indicates the cleaning fluid level in the internal reservoir, and as an additional precaution, the vacuum turbine features overheating protection. Its attractive and rugged casework looks at home with your audio system and reduces ambient noise levels. Now you can clean an entire record collection with a machine that is incredibly easy to use and maintain. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clearaudio","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45983322308781,"sku":"NEW-CLDOMAPRS","price":7800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/CLDOMAPRS_1-Large__30457.1726902356.1280.1280_9a42c0f2-172c-490f-809e-6722e50fdd5e.jpg?v=1778110802"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/collections\/chord-copy.oembed","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
