Building upon the solid foundation of the Kid Thomas, the Odar was created for the discerning analog lover who wants the very best. Featuring two armboards, capable of using either 10 or 12 inch arms, and delivered with a Cornet 2 12 inch tonearm, massive motor housing, massive 14 inch diameter platter, platform in the same solid wood material as the gorgeous plinth and a separate power supply – the Odar can deliver the musicality, a huge soundstage with staggering dynamics and incredible tape-like flow and timing.
The Odar turntable was awarded Best Sound at its world premiere at the Munich High-end show by The Absolute Sound, Enjoy The Music & AV Showrooms.
| Dimensions | 25 X 21 X 6.5 (W X D X H) | Weight turntable only | 55 lbs. |
Available in both natural wood and satin black finishes.
“All the Pear Audio designs of Peter Meek aim at the variations, and absence of grit, grain, and resonance effects. In short, they are designed to reproduce what is actually on the record—and, of course, there are some definite things on it. One of the less expensive Pear Blue setups will likely get you close to the ultimate that the Odar/Cornet 3 combination represents.”
Golden Ear 2022 – The Absolute Sound
“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.”

Pear Audio Blue Odar
“$19,000 (with Cornet 3 12″ tonearm)
The Odar is the latest and most fully evolved version of the turntable ideas involved in previous Pear Blue designs, involving a heavy platter belt-driven by a very low-torque motor (you need to start the platter by hand), and very careful control of resonant energy. 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 in the upper frequencies or motor-induced platter vibrations. Forget any misguided idea sometimes expressed that this type of sound is too subdued. What it actually is is correct—and superbly musical in the best sense. A turntable at the outer limits of the possible, without a stratospheric price. (Electronic external power supply with choice of 33 or 45 rpm, but no fine speed adjustment).”
