About the Emotion SE
The Clearaudio Emotion SE is a belt-drive turntable with a resonance-optimized, satin-finished acrylic chassis and a 28 mm CNC-machined acrylic platter. Its decoupled synchronous motor is housed separately in a metal enclosure, while Clearaudio’s inverted ceramic bearing with CMB magnetic-bearing technology supports the platter. The manufacturer currently lists the Emotion SE on its website, so it does not appear to be discontinued. Configurations vary: it is offered with a Satisfy Kardan Carbon tonearm, and some packages include an Artist V2 moving-magnet cartridge.
