I heard a rumor that it might be based on a Clearaudio model that was never sold in the USA and had been retired. Just something I read so take that with a grain of salt.

It was an older direct drive SL (not the new reissue), I never had both concurrently running, but just remember having used and enjoyed the dd way more often.

I’ve been happy with my MT2, but I’m a newb to vinyl, it’s my first TT. It meshed well with my system and sounds great. I mostly listen to hi-res Qobuz on a daily basis, but vinyl still sounds better even to my ear.

its a concept. the layout is identical. the rumor a few years ago was that it was going to be $2500. i'm sure they did some magical upgrades but i'd eat my hat if it's much different than a concept. looks really nice though, i considered it but the bank account said to stop.

The Performance DC doesn’t look all that much different from the Concept.
But it has a thicker heavier platter. And a heavier plinth. Both shared with the Mac Even the tonearm looks like the one on the Performance. Damn can’t attach photos even in Tapatalk.

Yea the performance DC looks similar, but the concept looks like a carbon copy to me, arm, platter and control knob. If it quacks like a duck something or other. I'm not dogging the quality, I'd take one if I had the scratch but it looks like badge engineering
