Product Description

The Charisma V2.1 Ebony is Clearaudio’s flagship Moving Magnet cartridge and is made from the finest materials including the same Boron cantilever found in their top-of-the-range Goldfinger Statement MC cartridge. Utilizing ultra-high efficiency magnets, the Clearaudio Charisma v2.1 Ebony is capable of almost unmatched output, allowing it to easily drive less-sensitive phono stages for maximum system compatibility. Its double-polished Gyger S shaped stylus is mated to the cantilever with matchless precision, ensuring excellent frequency response and the highest channel separation. The Clearaudio Charisma v2.1 Ebony is housed in a special Ebony wood body with silver inlay for added mass and resonance control.
