Clearaudio Bluemotion

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.

Thanks, nice to hear good words on emotion.
How did you like the feet? Clearaudio has upgraded feet at $150 for emotion. I wonder how much improvement the upgraded feet would bring. Some of newer models seem to come with those upgraded feet.

I have a champion with the satisfy arm and it has worked great for me. Adjusting VTA is kind of a hassle but once dialed in it works great. Looks like it might work differently on your table. You will have fun with the bluemotion. Enjoy.

Had a Clearaudio Emotion for nearly 3 years before it made way for a Gyrodec. The Emotion is not nearly as good looking as the Bluemotion. The only quibble I had was with the single screw mechanism that serves as the headshell and also adjusts azimuth.If you are clumsy like me you can end up damaging the thread rendering the whole tone arm useless. Fortunately Clearaudio service is superb and they gave me a replacement allen screw and plate free. It should not cost more than a dollar.
Did upgrade from the supplied Aurum wood MM to a Sumiko Bluepoint No 2 MC.
Really enjoyed my time with the Clearaudio. It rekindled my interest in vinyl and now its no looking back.
You have made a wise purchase which will give you oodles of enjoyment till you decide to upgrade...
Happy listening

If you decide to upgrade the cartridge you might want to look at the Audio Note MM. I forget the specific model but it's their $700 cartridge. I just auditioned the Performance with this cartridge and it is very nice indeed. Really smooths things out.
