Little John

Features essential parameters in turntable design

Little John was designed by Peter Mezek and uses the same motor principle and the motor still has to be initially spun by hand. This motor principle drastically reduces the resonance going from the motor to the platter and ensures speed accuracy. Little John’s components are selected to work perfectly together, making the whole more than the sum of its parts – creating a turntable in sonic harmony.

Special attention has been placed on a new bearing development along with a new and improved plinth. An improved motor arrangement and a different platter were implemented along with other improvements to achieve superior organic sound quality. The perfect marriage of materials results in astonishing realism, tonal quality and balance, with a realistic and deep 3D soundstage. You’ll be able to hear an astonishing, near-live performance of your favorite musicians.

An Evolution of Turntable Design Approach

Pear Audio Blue introduces a range of turntables and tonearms based on Tom Fletcher’s last ideas on turntable construction. Unrestricted from past designs Tom Fletcher designed a new range of turntables and tonearms for his good friend Peter Mezek, called Pear Audio Blue.

The Approach

Pear Audio Blue turntables and tonearms do not represent a revolution, but rather an evolution in Tom Fletcher’s approach to turntable design. Several features of Tom Fletcher’s designs from Nottingham Analogue remain. Pear Audio Blue uses the same motor principle and the motor still has to be initially spun by hand. This motor principle drastically reduces the resonance going from the motor to the platter and ensures speed accuracy.

The Features

Pear Audio Blue features an essential parameter in turntable design: matching materials able to control resonance naturally and that are sonically in phase. Components are selected to work perfectly together, making the whole more than the sum of its parts – creating a turntable in sonic harmony. Special attention has been placed on new bearing development, improved motor arrangement, and a different platter which results in astonishing realism, tonal quality and balance.

Homage to New Orleans Jazz Legends

Tom Fletcher and Peter Mezek often listened to New Orleans jazz together so each turntable is named after famous New Orleans jazz musicians. Each turntable is built upon the same design principles and consistently deliver high-performance sound, enduring build quality, and exceptional value well beyond their price point. Each model is handcrafted and undergoes extensive quality control before being shipped.

CORNET 1 TONEARM

Revolutionary Unipivot Technology in Cornet 1 and Cornet 2 Tonearms.

Cornet 1 and Cornet 2 tone-arms are the culmination of the Tom Fletcher’s continuing development of the Space Arm. Unipivot arms are usually designed with the pivot sitting in a silicone bath. The problem with this design is that the silicone bath takes quite a while to settle down, so the sound of the arm changes as it plays. Many unipivots uses eccentric counter weights to insure proper azimuth.

Cornet’s unipivot design uses a new approach: to maintain azimuth, along with a special material, developed with viscosity properties that do not flow and do not require “settling time”.

A Sonic Revolution

A hi-tech carbon fibre tube with fibres along the length, not wrapped around the arm, greatly increases the strength, resonance control and rigidity of the arm. Cornet arms also have an unusual new headshell design. Meticulous attention to the material went into the development, producing an arm more sonically in phase. The headshell also has no finger lift. These features ensure that the arm is properly balanced and no uncontrolled resonances run around the headshell.

Distance from Tone arm center to spindle 222 mm
Effective mass 12,50 g
Arm’s length 29,50 mm
Tonearm effective length 239 mm

Exploring the Sonic Nuances

The Cornet 1 tonearm shares most of the same performance features of the more expensive Cornet 2 – long grain Carbon fiber, Unipivot design, in-line headshell and a magnificent marriage of materials. All Pear Audio arms share the same family of sound in order for all to sound right in combination. Thereby the differences between the two arms are subtle yet still clearly audible.

Great walking shoes
Size: 11, Color: All Black
A very comfortable walking shoe that’s well made and looks like it’s going to hold up well for everyday wear. Lightweight indeed and probably doesn’t require much cleaning. Easy to get on and off without much stress though.
