CLEARAUDIO - VIRTUOSO WOOD CARTRIDGE
Our best-selling Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge!
Clearaudio Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges are precision products that are held to the most stringent quality control standards. The patented assembly process is based on the newest technical advances. Through this process, we hand select materials that are held to the tightest tolerances. The mounting plate of the Alpha, Beta and Beta S cartridges are made of a special resonance free lead alloy material. The Virtuoso Wood uses a special Fernambuk wood mounting plate that is only available in the Bavarian Black Forest. Clearaudio Moving Magnet phono cartridges distinguish themselves in a long lifespan, an extremely linear frequency response, and an exceptional dynamic response. All of this insures a very uniform soundstage. The Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM cartridge is compatible with virtually all tonearms.
Clearaudio’s finest MM design, the Virtuoso Wood is one of the best cartridges we have ever heard in its price range. This cartridge is fast, detailed, smooth sounding, and is superbly balanced. Robert Reina wrote in Stereophile that he could not think of any cartridge under $1000 that he would rather own.
