"My first impressions were of a very smooth-sounding, quiet turntable-tonearm-cartridge assembly. Those ended up being my lasting impressions as well. ...a cozy evening with the Concept might prove a game changer - as will the suave sound of the Concept MC cartridge... My ears comfortably slipped into the MC's airy, relaxed overall sound as if into a pair of fleece-lined slippers." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine, June 2011, Vol. 34, No. 6, pg. 105

"The Concept turntable delivered "blacker" backgrounds than I'm accustomed to at this price. The 'table ran quietly, physically and sonically, and the system was extremely well damped. ...The Concept was completely free of the cardboardy or hollow, drum-like colorations often produced by moderately priced 'tables." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine, June 2011, Vol. 34, No. 6, pg. 105

"Fitted with the Concept MC cartridge, Clearaudio's plug'n'play Concept turntable-tonearm-cartridge combo is exceptionally attractive, easy to set up and use, and seems better built than its price would suggest. It's a quiet, smoOth performer that excels at midrange smoothness and transparency of the sort that makes speakers seem to vanish - even my $65,000/pair speakers!" - Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine, June 2011, Vol. 34, No. 6, pg. 105

"The Clearaudio Concept turntable package does everything but unbox itself. Preset at the factory, this soup-to-nuts disc-spinner features a svelte belt-drive chassis, a stunning, friction-free, magnetic-bearing Verify tonearm, and, optionally, a Concept moving -coil cartridge. Clearaudio has infused the Concept with much of the decoupled DC-motor technology from its classy Innovation Wood turntable - a move that lets you shift among 33-1/3, 45, or 78 rpm at the touch of a button. Build and finish are superior. For sheer musical engagement and superb speed stability, it's the 'table to beat in this range." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, September 2010, Issue 205

"Clearaudio's new Concept turntable and cartridge combo offers a hugely rewarding analog experience at a very attractive price... I will tell you that it is good enough in all the ways that count - resolution, dynamics, low-noise, and that hard-to-pin-down thing I'll call musical involvement... Couple that with its terrific German build and finish, and the Concept strikes me as a hands-down bargain." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, October 2010, Issue 206
