Pear Audio Blue – Robin Hood TT with Cornet 2 tonearm

For sale is my Pear Audio Blue – Robin Hood turntable with Pear Audio Cornet 2 tonearm. Original owner, 3 years old, no issues. Shipping box is in so-so condition, hence the 8/10 rating. Otherwise excellent.

Pear Audio Blue turntables, which have been extensively reviewed in Stereophile and elsewhere, are based on the engineering and design thinking of the late Tom Fletcher of Nottingham Audio. The Pear designs reflect Fletcher’s "final" ideas for improving on what he did with Nottingham as he handed the torch to Pear Audio. Like Nottingham tables, the Pear uses a low-torque motor; you start the platter spinning with a small push and brake it to a stop with your hand. Quite cool!

The Robin Hood (list $1,995) is their least expensive table, but it is a superb performer. Mine is fitted with their Cornet 2 arm ($2,195), Pear’s most expensive tonearm.

The photos show an Ortofon Quintet Black MC cartridge ($995), which is not for sale, but if you really want it, we can discuss.

The turntable and arm combo cost $4,190. Motivated seller. Shipping costs and PayPal fees are your responsibility. US sale only.
