CLEARAUDIO - AURUM BETA WOOD MM CARTRIDGE

The wood version of the respected Beta features sonics that rival many moving coil cartridges. One design highlight is the precisely finished large mounting plate featuring an absolutely flat top surface. This offers an optimal mechanical connection to the tonearm headshell for excellent dynamics and extended bass.
