Clearaudio Da Vinci v2.1 MC Phono Cartridge

Highly Recommended - enjoythemusic.com

New Upgraded Model with Prime Line Stylus

Paint your own masterpiece with the DaVinci v2.1 MC phono cartridge from Clearaudio. DaVinci does it with music, not canvas, delivering an artful and ingenious performance that brings out the best from your vinyl treasures.

A tribute to one of the great Renaissance men, the DaVinci MC v2 moving coil was the result of Clearaudio's developmental work on its version 2 series as it explored modern material science. Super neodymium was one special material Clearaudio used in the generator, creating a ring of eight magnets with dual 24-karat pure gold air-core coils inside.

Award-Winning Performance

The Clearaudio DaVinci V2 received a Highly Recommended award from enjoythemusic.com. According to reviewer Dick Olsher, "My first choice at this price point would be the Clearaudio DaVinci V2. It is a superlative all-around performer that will repay you with years of musical pleasure. Highly recommended!"

If you’ve been craving the perfect fusion of dynamics and fine detail, the Clearaudio DaVinci is the cartridge for you. Just be sure to get those records spotless if you want everything it can deliver, observes Jeff Dorgay in TONEaudio magazine.

"It's Big and Bold"

"It’s big and bold and wants to get on with things. It delivers real energy but succeeds in harnessing it to the shape and structure of the music, staying just the right side of excitable. But what makes it really special is the way it lets music and musicians breathe, placing you closer to the performance," notes oy Gregory, hi-fi+ magazine, March 7, 2014.

"It might be pricey, but its musical performance more than justifies that price, underlining just why people continue to buy expensive cartridges. A really good record player still defines the audio state-of-the-art; if that’s your aim then the Clearaudio Da Vinci V2 won’t disappoint."

A Significant Improvement

For the DaVinci v2.1 body, an aluminum-magnesium alloy with ceramic surface layer was chosen for its lightness, rigidity, and self-damping characteristics. Realizing Clearaudio's twelve-finger design, each finger with a different radius, with this advanced material, provides enhanced low level resolution via its resonance control.

The generator of the DaVinci v2.1 MC is mechanically, magnetically and electrically symmetrical, and it uses the Clearaudio Prime Line stylus with solid boron rod cantilever. The Prime Line stylus offers a significant improvement over the previous version DaVinci.

The DaVinci v2.1 MC’s forward thinking and musical qualities personify Leonardo Da Vinci as it represents an ideal balance in science, invention, art, and humanity.

Twelve-Finger Cartridge Body

Cartridge body resonances, while tracking in the groove, are minimized through the twelve-finger design of the mounting plate, each finger with a different radius. This is the result of Clearaudio's constant research and development.

The cartridge body is made of ceramic coated aluminum. The generator construction is absolutely symmetrical: mechanically, magnetically and electrically. The moving coils in all v2 models use Clearaudio's proven 24 carat pure gold coils.

"Brilliant, Crisp, Clear"

"The sound is brilliant, crisp clear, and full of details without harshness. Voices are just a dream performed with this cartridge. Bass is very deep and exact without wobbling artifacts," observes reviewer auktionspet at vinylengine.com.
