CLEARAUDIO - GOLDFINGER v2 MC CARTRIDGE

Unbeatable Analog Performance!

The Clearaudio Goldfinger MC Cartridge is a 2008 TAS Golden Ear Award Winner! 

The newest generation of Clearaudio Moving Coil cartridge has broken the mold with an awesome, unbelievable dynamic range of 100dB. A radically new magnetic circuit, achieved using new proprietary 8 piece Super-Neodymium magnets have a much stronger field. Signal efficiency has been significantly increased which yields a higher output than past designs.

“When it comes to realistic tone color, Clearaudio’s latest (and greatest) moving coil cartridge, the Goldfinger v2 has completed the virtual 180° swing away from the clinical sound of early Clearaudio ‘coils. The Goldfinger now comes closer to “sweet, rich and robust” than to “cool, lean, and analytical”; moreover, Clearaudio has accomplished this about-face without sacrificing the resolution, transient response, and soundstaging its ‘coils have always been known for.”
— Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound, Golden Ear Award Winner, June 2008

Goldfinger's ground-breaking technology is incorporated into a resonance-optimized body fashioned from 16 grams of pure gold, carefully polished by the hands of master craftsmen. Internally, the completely symmetrical generator system is adorned with pure 24 karat gold coils and a new Clearaudio exclusive Micro-HD Diamond tip is now only one-fifth the total mass of previous designs and has the ability to ride the depths of the groove which no styli has ever touched. This minimizes surface noise dramatically making the Goldfinger the pinnacle of Clearaudio's achievement; a work of art, a masterpiece in technique and of breathtakingly linear and musical transparency.

For the first time in the history of analog reproduction, Goldfinger's specifications actually surpass those of digital equipment! When you hear what this cartridge can reproduce from the grooves of an LP, it will leave you speechless.

Long live analog!
