New Upgraded Version with Clearaudio Prime Line Stylus
Clearaudio is famous for their moving coil cartridges with their first patents and models developed in the 1970s by Peter Suchy. When developing their Concept turntable circa 2010, the goal was to create a high performance and high value MC that could be factory installed on the Concept tonearm with its magnetic bearing. The Concept MC fulfilled this with a cartridge that embodied the sonic ethos of Clearaudio.
Concept MC v2.1 Upgrades
Now comes the Concept MC v2.1 with the latest Clearaudio upgrades. It now has a solid boron rod cantilever with a Clearaudio Prime Line stylus, assuring more accuracy to groove tracing and high frequency linearity for a significant improvement over the previous version Concept MC cartridge.
The MC generator uses dual high quality copper windings for an output of .4mV and an internal resistance of 11 ohms, allowing use with many high gain phono stages including Clearaudio's nano v2 and Smart v2.
The coils use OFC copper and the cartridge body consists of an aluminum-magnesium alloy with a ceramic surface layer. Frequency response is 20 Hz to 20 kHz with 28dB channel separation.
