Clearaudio Bluemotion


The whole package of Clearaudio Bluemotion (blue color emotion, including the Satisfy arm and Aurum Classic Wood Cartridge) is what I ended up getting for an upgrade from my Thorens TD146MKii.
Any good word on Emotion among agoners?

Had an emotion, and bought an older (but better) Evolution turntable. The emotion TT really made me fall in love with the Clearaudio sound.
Compaired to Regas and Pro-jects in the same price class - i really think the Emotion is better than the other offerings i have heard.
Ihcho: My Emotion (bought november 2006) did already have those "upgrade feet" and as i have heard from alot of people they are a worth investment, as with the spikes alot of vibrations travel from the rack/bench that you have the TT on.
i think all newer emotion/bluemotion packages (complete packages with tonearm,PU,tt) does have the upgraded feet, and directwired tonearm. - but i can't be 100% shure - do email the distributor and ask about it.
well, hope you still will be satisfied with the player.
Directwired tonearm, means that the there is no RCA females on the tonearm base, instead there is a cable fitted that goes all the way to the phono amp. That menans you get one less contactpoint in the signalway. (which is good on vinyls, since the signal is so low.
Ihcho: Have you tighten the bolt from the side of the turntable base, that locks the Tonearm into height? if you have tighten it well then it should sit really great without any trouble at all. If you totally have missed the bolt, then you have to put it there right away!

A pickup upgrade (like "Benz Micro Ace" or "Clearaudio Virtuoso") will make a huge difference from the original pickup. Also, i would consider the upgrade feet for later on if you have any kind of trouble with vibrations from speakers and such on to the turntable.
