Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood mm cartridge brand new For Sale Canuck
Product specifications The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point. This reveiw is for two cartridge's, the Virtuoso Wood and the Maestro wood. I purchased the Marantz turntable with the Virtuoso cartridge for 1600.00 and listened for about 6 months. I love the bass and voices through it. Very nice warmth, female voices like Holly Cole seem to just shimmer through the speakers. The Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood is one of the best selling cartridges because it offers pure musical joy at a reasonable price point. It is a long standing Recommended Class B Component by Stereophile and includes a $$$ rating for its affordability within its class. My Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood is the Black Wood option where there are other two alternatives: the all metal one and the other Fenambuk red/orange wood. I never listened these ones so my review is for the Blak Wood option. If I'm right, that could be I'm not, the Virtuoso had a price of 700.00 when was launched and today goes to $ 950.00.

Skip to main content The Virtuoso does not disappoint.it shares the same very CLEAN midrange and treble of the Beta (the familial resemblence in their sound is unmistakeable), with the addition of much better quality bass, and some of the best dynamics I've ever heard from any cartridge, MM or MC.

The V2 Ebony swaps the earlier Trygon P2 stylus of the Maestro Wood with Clearaudio's Micro HD stylus. After completing my listening, I switched back to the $450 Clearaudio Aurum Beta S. Although its overall character was similar to the Virtuoso Wood's, there were noticeably less detail and subtle dynamic and transient articulations.
