CLEARAUDIO - STRADIVARI MC CARTRIDGE

Clearaudio Stradivari Awarded Golden Ear Award from The Absolute Sound!

The Stradivari is a Technological Breakthrough from Clearaudio!

The newest generation of Clearaudio Moving Coil cartridges has broken the mold! The Claeaudio Stradivari is voiced differently to provide the best combination of Clearaudio’s incredible detail retrieval and dynamics, combined with a tremendous sense of warmth and musicality. Their new proprietary 8 piece Super-Neodym Magnets have a much stronger field. Signal efficiency has been significantly increased which yields a higher output than past designs. 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. A brand new “twelve-finger” mounting plate was designed to further reduce resonance… and it looks cool, too! The Clearaudio Stradivari, has a body made solid Ebony. No other cartridge in the world has this level of perfect symmetry; mechanically, magnetically and electrically. Using 24K Gold coil windings, the explosive dynamics generated by this world-class cartridge is something to behold. For the first time in the history of analog reproduction, cartridge 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!

“When I reviewed the Clearaudio pickup in Issue 172, I gave it my own “Golden Mean” award because it so effortlessly dovetails warmth and detail, control and ease, liveliness and relaxation. It richly deserves a Golden Ear [Award]!”
