New Upgraded Version with Clearaudio Prime Line Stylus
Second in the v2.1 series only to Clearaudio's flagship Goldfinger cartridge, the Titanium v2.1 MC combines the Clearaudio v2.1 symmetrical generator with the company's twelve-finger body design manufactured in titanium.
As with all Clearaudio MC cartridges, Titanium v2.1 MC uses a solid boron rod cantilever with a Clearaudio Prime Line stylus, assuring more accuracy to groove tracing and high frequency linearity. Simply put, the Prime Line stylus offers a significant improvement over the previous version Titanium cartridge.
"Added New Layers of Musical Detail"
"Tracks beautifully," raves Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound magazine. "The resolution, tone color, transients, soundstaging, and transparency... added new layers of musical detail to my front-end setup."
"I hope that vinyl fans get a chance to hear one sometime in their audiophile years. Your musical life will be enriched beyond measure," notes Anthony Kershaw at Canada's Audiophilia. "Very highly recommended."
With a strength-to-density ratio which is the highest of any metallic element, Clearaudio machines the 12 different radius fingered mounting plate and generator housing from titanium. Being both a non-magnetic and heat resistant alloy, it provides excellent shielding characteristics for revealing low level information.
Benefits from Goldfinger's Stringent Parts Selection
The Titanium v2.1 benefits directly from the extremely stringent parts selection process of the Goldfinger. Its mechanically, magnetically, and electrically symmetrical v2.1 generator includes 24-karat pure gold air-core coils inside a ring of eight super neodymium magnets. These super-matched parts are often culled from Goldfinger production and testing. Clearaudio likens this to how a world-class winery uses the grapes for both its top cuvee and its second label.
