Component History...

Obtained from an Audiophile friend who purchased the entire Pear Audio Little John Turntable package from a West Coast Pear Audio dealer.
This Mint as New beautiful Turntable package has a mere fifty hours of use.

Cosmetically...

This Pear Audio Turntable ,Tonearm & Cartridge are as "New" in every aspect...The Table ,Motor, Belt ,Tonearm & Cartridge are all part of this exclusive package...

The 13 Ply Imported European species of wood which is Birch with its specially applied protective coating is indeed an Audio Work of Art.

Its Modern yet timeless design has its profile presented like that of a fine piece of furniture. The Trumpet One Tonearm Design & Low Torque Manual Motor was indeed inspired by Tom Fletcher of Nottingham Turntable Fame. Before he died he passed the torch to Peter Mezek...

He designed the famed Pear Audio Blue Turntable which the Little John is of the same pedigree...
As Audiophile's know this gentleman was the mentor of Pear Audio Founder Peter Mezek. He himself being in the Audio Business over 40 years...

The Turntable Plinth color is closer to a cream beige . The lighting in some photos may differ...

* Note: The Brand New All Suede Record Mat & All Metal Black Record Clamp (approx.1lb.) are included...

Operationally...

As with all the Fletcher TT Designs this Low Torque Motor starts manually.
Its new improved motor & bearing combination is included and operates very quiet & flawless.

The Cornet 1 Tonearm uses a New Unique Approach ...

Unipivot arms are usually designed with the pivot sitting in a silicon bath which as the silicon settles so does the sound of the arm.

Cornet's Unipivot design uses a new approach :

To maintain azimuth, along with a special material, developed with Viscosit as to require " settling time ".
A hi-tech fibre tube with fibre's along the length , not wrapped around the arm, greatly increases the strength & resonance .

The combination with the supplied Goldring 1042 MM cartridge if MM is indeed your personal preference is just stunning throughout . I did as well try my older Dynavector DV-50X MC Cartridge which was just as impressive as the aforementioned.

Both these cartridges being close to the same price point it was my first experience with a Goldring Cartridge I highly recommended it...

Listening to a number of Iconic Jazz Pressings I could hear the wood of the upright bass and the resin of the musicians fingers thru all the sound frequencies same with all the instrumentation.

The Piano sound here was quite exquisite with the decay of the lowest notes finishing not just rolling off as it were, the horns depth and crispness when called upon were as well colored nor homogenized in any way.

The vocals were true to life as well with the said recording predicting the outcome as the stylus hits the groove !

Hearing the "tips of the sticks " and kick drum with cymbals in full creative percussive unison was indeed breathtaking ...

It was truly a "Live you are there experience" that all audiophiles & music enthusiasts are in search of.
All music I auditioned was indeed portrayed in the way it was recorded no additives or preservatives lol...
The 180gr and Half Speed Master Vinyl Pressing were out of this world and worth the investment.

Each turntable is custom hand made which in itself sets it apart from the mass produced like models.

This entire turntable package has a mere 50 hours of playing time on it so at this offering it is indeed to be seriously considered if you are looking for an Audiophile Vinyl Component of superior engineering specially made with selected materials and artful simplicity created by gentlemen whose life's passion is in this Pear Audio Turntable...
