This is one of the best-sounding cartridges I have kept for years.From my private collection: Clearaudio Stradivari V2 MC Moving Stereo Phono Cartridge. This cartridge is in Like new condition, the sound is detailed, fast, and dynamic, stylus still sharp, cantilever and suspension is also in excellent condition. Only used for less than 30 hours and has been in storage for many years. An impressive 95¬decibel dynamic range is made possible through the use of patented V2 technology and of the finest high-end materials. This lightweight precision cartridge weighs only seven grams. It is the result of highly devotional microscopic craftsmanship – mastery of perfection in design and material selection. Important ingredients are a body of long-aged ebony, a precisely ground twelve finger platform and coils of 24-gold. The result: a stunning listening experience of almost unbelievable transparency and depth. A name to live up to. Meticulousness of design, spurred on by a goal of redefining the best and raising the bar ever higher, have led to a masterpiece of German craftsmanship. The ebony wood bodied Stradivari V2 MC cartridge is a best seller in our selection. It is a top choice for the Performance DC AiR Wood with Tracer, a great way to get into an Innovation Series with Universal tonearm, or a means to elevate any turntable to the Clearaudio class. It combines all of the advancements of our original symmetrical generator patent with our “flower power” twelve-finger body design, all at V2 performance levels. The V2 generator is mechanically, magnetically, and electrically symmetrical, placing the dual 24-karat pure gold air-core coils inside a ring of 8 super neodymium magnets. Precise parts selection and grading within the generator produce an added refinement and delicacy. The twelve-finger design of the mounting plate, each finger with a different radius, features the V2 tapped metal inserts, with the ebony wood adding fullness and weight. Clearaudio was one of the first cartridge manufacturers to use a solid boron rod cantilever and continue to utilize them over 40 years later. As found on all V2 MC cartridges, our new clearaudio Prime Line stylus provides enhanced trackability with its hybrid parabolic geometry and reduced tip mass.
