Clearaudio Virtuoso V2 Moving Magnet Cartridge
990,00 €
Clearaudio consistently establishes new benchmarks in the parameters of phono cartridges, including impedance, inductance, load capacitance, and sensitivity, through relentless research and ongoing measurements conducted in our dedicated laboratory. Clearaudio’smoving magnet cartridge, featuring a wooden body, boasts the highest output among its offerings at 3.6mV. The wooden construction imparts a warm and well-rounded tonal quality to the Virtuoso cartridge, along with exceptional channel separation.
Overview
Clearaudio’s V2 MM technology uses ebony as a resonance resistant body. Other ingredients of the recipe for success are the most effective reduction of moving mass, an optimized polishing technique for the stylus and highly effective cartridge damping.
The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point.
The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio V2 MM series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tonearms.
With the exception of the MM concept V2, which is made of aluminium, all the cartridges in this series are made with housings of hand-polished ebony – the key to record-breaking weight values.
