Every detail, right down to special bearing oil, developed exclusively for Pear Audio Analogue, demonstrates that we examine every detail and leave nothing to chance. The meticulous choice of materials, even in the most apparently trivial places resulted in a magnificent marriage of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Evolution\u003c\/strong\u003e of Turntable Design Approach Pear Audio Blue introduces a range of turntables and tonearms based on Tom Fletcher’s last ideas on turntable construction. Unrestricted from past designs Tom Fletcher designed a new range of turntables and tonearms for his good friend Peter Mezek, called Pear Audio Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Approach\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePear Audio Blue turntables and tonearms do not represent a revolution, but rather an evolution in Tom Fletcher’s approach to turntable design. Several features of Tom Fletcher’s designs from Nottingham Analogue remain. Pear Audio Blue uses the same motor principle and the motor still has to be initially spun by hand. This motor principle drastically reduces the resonance going from the motor to the platter and ensures speed accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePear Audio Blue features an essential parameter in turntable design: matching materials able to control resonance naturally and that are sonically in phase. Components are selected to work perfectly together, making the whole more than the sum of its parts – creating a turntable in sonic harmony. Special attention has been placed on new bearing development, improved motor arrangement, and a different platter which results in astonishing realism, tonal quality and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomage to New Orleans Jazz Legends\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTom Fletcher and Peter Mezek often listened to New Orleans jazz together so each turntable is named after famous New Orleans jazz musicians.

Each model is handcrafted and undergoes extensive quality control before being shipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/TAS2018-150x150.jpg?v=1784412418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/TAS2020.jpg?v=1784412418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/TAS2019.jpg?v=1784412418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/stereophile.jpg?v=1784412418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual, two-speed, belt-drive turntable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e33⅓ and 45 RPM (manual speed change via two-position pulley)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra-low-torque synchronous AC motor, housed separately from the main plinth in a U-shaped cutout to minimize vibration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 lb (11.3 kg) alloy platter, 58 mm (2.3\") thick, with thick rubber external damping rings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlinth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-layered, acoustically optimized natural wood construction, designed to be sonically in-phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e505 × 155 × 360 mm (19.75 × 6 × 14 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 31.7 kg (70 lbs)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pear Audio","offers":[{"title":"No Tonearm \/ Natural Wood","offer_id":51995468333377,"sku":null,"price":9295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Black","offer_id":51995468366145,"sku":null,"price":9895.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Porsche Burgundy","offer_id":51995468398913,"sku":null,"price":9895.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Custom","offer_id":51995468431681,"sku":null,"price":9895.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet1 Tonearm \/ Natural Wood","offer_id":51995468464449,"sku":null,"price":11145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet1 Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Black","offer_id":51995468497217,"sku":null,"price":11745.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet1 Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Porsche Burgundy","offer_id":51995468529985,"sku":null,"price":11745.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet1 Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Custom","offer_id":51995468562753,"sku":null,"price":11745.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet2 Tonearm \/ Natural Wood","offer_id":51995468595521,"sku":null,"price":11945.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet2 Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Black","offer_id":51995468628289,"sku":null,"price":12545.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet2 Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Porsche Burgundy","offer_id":51995468661057,"sku":null,"price":12545.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cornet2 Tonearm \/ High-Gloss Custom","offer_id":51995468693825,"sku":null,"price":12545.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/PearAUDIO_KID_THOMAS_HiRes_C2_A9PeterUhan_153.jpg?v=1784413072","url":"https:\/\/www.magentaaudio.com.au\/products\/pear-audio-kid-thomas-turntable","provider":"Magenta Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
