Product Information

To do this excellent selection of music full justice, our vinyl recording was made using direct metal mastering (DMM) on 180g virgin vinyl.

There are different ways to celebrate an anniversary. We can look back and reflect on where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. Or we can look forward towards future possibilities. Alternatively, we can simply pause and ‘take five’ to be present – right here, right now. Rather like that in-the-moment presence we feel when we’re enjoying superb music, excellently recorded and played. That’s how we’re celebrating Clearaudio’s 40th anniversary. To mark the occasion we’re delighted to present an album of music that embodies our passion for perfection, for nuanced and detailed sound, and for an intimate marriage of creativity and technical finesse. In other words, an album that reflects the key principles by which our founder, Peter Suchy, has lived his life. “Take the best and make it better – only then it is just good enough.” His well-known quote is as valid today as it was 40 years ago, and has inspired a host of colleagues and collaborators along the way.

Peter Suchy is not merely a visionary, but also a highly driven, hands-on creator for whom satisfaction has always represented a dead-end. Ever since the release of his Delta and Sigma speakers in 1978 and the development of his first moving coil cartridges, not a day has passed when he didn’t strive to set new standards for higher fidelity. This mindset continues to underpin our work at Clearaudio.

No matter where you’ve come from or where you’re going, if your heart beats to the drum of truly authentic sound then you’ll find Peter Suchy’s spirit, will and drive in every single one of his products – from the most towering turntable to the smallest cable.

While some creators may be content with merely looking closely, Peter Suchy has always both looked and listened closely. Very closely - and at both ends of the spectrum, from top-quality record engineering to excellent playback. So the early stages of every Clearaudio musical recording begins with questions like, “Does it sound exactly like in a concert hall?” and “Does the music feel as was intended when it was written and composed?”.

In addition to our own recordings, a number of our favourite legendary productions from Deutsche Grammophon have also found their way onto this album. So why not take a pause, ‘take five’ and enjoy these moments of exceptional music, lovingly produced. And join us in celebrating 40 years of loving music!
