    New Upgraded Bestseller Now with the Prime Line Stylus

    Stradivari is synonymous with the absolute master-class of creating musical instruments. Clearaudio's moving coil cartridge named after the master violin maker allows a magnificent 90 dB dynamic range from vinyl.

    The ebony wood bodied Stradivari v2.1 MC cartridge is a Clearaudio bestseller. It's a top choice for the Performance DC AiR Wood with Tracer, a great way to get into an Innovation Series turntable with Universal tonearm, or a means to elevate any turntable to the Clearaudio class. It combines all of the advancements of Clearaudio's original symmetrical generator patent with the company's "flower power" twelve-finger body design, all at v2.1 performance levels.

    A Significant Upgrade for Stradivari

    The v2.1 generator is mechanically, magnetically, and electrically symmetrical, placing the dual 24-karat pure gold air-core coils inside a ring of eight super neodymium magnets. Precise parts selection and grading within the generator produce an added refinement and delicacy. The twelve-finger design of the mounting plate, each finger with a different radius, features the v2.1 tapped metal inserts, with the ebony wood adding fullness and weight.

    Clearaudio was one of the first cartridge manufacturers to use a solid boron rod cantilever and continue to utilize them over 40 years later. As found on all v2.1 MC cartridges, Clearaudio's new Prime Line stylus provides enhanced trackability with its hybrid parabolic geometry and reduced tip mass. Simply put, the Prime Line stylus offers a significant improvement over the previous version Stradivari.
