Clearaudio Bluemotion

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.

I should be OK even though it is a little bit disappointing. Anyway it is my fault. I did not know much about the difference and I did not do enough research.
I see that the direct wired tone arm is about $150 more expensive and the upgrade feet costs about $150, overall the upgraded version seems to be $300 more expensive than the earler version.
I don't think I would be able to feel any difference on my system, and I paid less ($1100), so I should be OK.

If any of you are interested in clearaudio emotion (blue/red/black), you want to make sure that you are paying for an upgraded one, or paying at least $300 less for an older one.

I bet you could return it and get what you want. It may be worth the hassle in the long run and make you feel better about your purchase.

Thanks for your input, but I think I will settle for this. I already stretched more than I could afford to. $1100 shipped is also a good price.
An updated Bluemotion sells at $1600 in US without shipping.
The cheapest place I found is elusivedisk which sells an updated Emotion at $1200 for a limited time. Emotion normally sells at $150~$200 less than Bluemotion.

Now, I need to worry about assembling the whole turntable. Hope it is not so hard to properly assemble and set up the tonearm and cartridge to max out.

Ihcho, you will have a lot of fun. Setting up the turntable isn't too bad but you have to take your time, carefully read the directions, and be dilligent. My experience became a tiny bit frustrating but once I got it done I saw that doing it again would be a snap. You just have to do it to see what I mean. I would be glad to offer any help if you want to drop me an e-mail. Best of luck.
