Tracking and Tonality: Clearaudio Performer v2 MM Phono Cartridge Delivers Ink-Black Backgrounds

An entry-level high-end MM phono cartridge that excels in the fields of tracking, tonality, and quiet, the Clearaudio Performer v2 affords music lovers of all stripes a taste of reference quality for a very palatable cost. Performer paints generously proportioned soundstages distinguished with ink-black backgrounds and gets deep into LP grooves to mine the details you want to hear. Resonance-optimized ebony housing and a higher output voltage distinguish it from its predecessor.

With Performer v2, Clearaudio continues to establish new standards in the cartridge parameters of impedance, inductance, load capacitance, and sensitivity. The German company's manufacturing precision is exhibited in the continuous measurement and analysis of the built-in magnets to produce fine balance of the stereo channels. Minimal distortion values, flat frequency response, and high-output voltage all help provide vivid musicality.
