Klaudio Magnezar

Klaudio Magnezar is a high-end turntable manufacturer based in the USA, founded in 2012 as a spin-off from Koolance, a leading liquid cooling equipment company established in 2000. Leveraging Koolance’s expertise in electronics and liquid handling, Klaudio transitioned into the audio industry by designing innovative products such as ultrasonic record cleaners and tangential tonearms before developing their flagship Magnezar turntable.

The Magnezar turntable, launched in 2023, exemplifies Klaudio’s commitment to pushing technological boundaries in analog audio. It features a magnetically levitated platter that floats entirely on permanent magnets, eliminating mechanical thrust bearings for ultra-smooth rotation. The design incorporates an exceptionally quiet direct-drive motor, liquid stabilization, automatic spindle and peripheral clamping, and supports dual tonearms including Klaudio’s proprietary tangential tonearm and laser pod. Constructed from aluminum, the Magnezar offers adjustable speeds of 33, 45, and 78 rpm and boasts extremely low wow and flutter and speed variation, reflecting its engineering precision.

Klaudio’s origins as a company rooted in advanced liquid cooling technology have allowed it to bring unique innovations to the turntable market, blending mechanical engineering, electronics, and fluid dynamics to create a product that stands out in the high-end audio world. The company remains a pioneer in analog audio, known for its cutting-edge designs and meticulous craftsmanship
