”
“The sound is what REG regards as ideal— very silent in background with unconstrained perceived dynamics, very solid, detailed but without any hint of exaggeration by resonances.—and superbly musical in the best sense. A turntable at the outer limits of the possible, without a stratospheric price.”
Robert E. Greene, The Absolute Sound :: ODAR
SONIC REALISM THROUGH MATERIAL MASTERY
The perfect marriage of materials results in astonishing realism, tonal quality and balance with realistic and deep 3D soundstage. You’ll be able to hear an astonishing near-live performance of your favorite musicians.
A trully passionate commitment
At Pear Audio Blue we have a passionate commitment to hand-build fine instruments for the playback of recorded music. We’re not interested in the quick and easy answer, but believe objects of real worth take time to create.
ABOUT THE NAME
Tom Fletcher and Peter Mezek often listened to New Orleans jazz together so each turntable is named after famous New Orleans jazz musicians. Each model is built upon the same design principles and all offer high performance sound, quality build and value way beyond their price.

AnalogPlanet: Captain John Handy – A turntable with true life force
December, 2025 - Read Full Article
"The Captain John Handy is one helluva fine turntable, easily matching far more expensive decks in drive, flow, sensuousness, soundstage, and ambience retrieval. It played music with such life force and dynamic power that I was consistently, totally captivated. Records sounded alive, propulsive, and richly textured, with an ease and natural musical momentum that made long listening sessions not just enjoyable, but addictive." (Ken Micallef, AnalogPlanet)
Parttimeaudiophile: Pear Audio Blue Kid Howard Turntable review
January, 2023 - Read Full Article
"The sheer tonality of the Pear Audio Blue Kid Howard is what finally convinced me of its true worth. With the Koetsu and the ZYX Ultimate, this turntable is ideal for audiophiles who are always waiting to hear something that sounds utterly real, something that makes you jump up in your seat, something that makes you want to hear again just to make sure it was THAT real. (Marc Phillips, Parttimeaudiophile)
2022 Golden Ear: Pear Audio Blue Odar Turntable with Cornet 3 Tonearm
August, 2022 - Article 1, Article 2
If you want to play records, this is the way to go in my view. (If you are totally focused on correct pitch, you could look for a used Nakamichi disc-centering turntable; otherwise, this is the one.) All the Pear Audio designs of Peter Mezek aim at the same goals of silence, solidity, absence of micro-speed variations, and absence of grit, grain, and resonance effects. (Robert E. Greene, The Absolute Sound)
