Clearaudio Announces ‘Best Cartridge Ever’ Diamond Jubilee MC for €25,000
The Diamond Jubilee MC cartridge is constructed from zirconium oxide, selected by Clearaudio for its remarkable hardness and stability. This choice allows for a manufacturing precision of 0.001. The design incorporates several elements from the Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement V2.1. Notably, the coils are wound with 24-karat gold, which the company asserts enhances efficiency and aids in delivering a detailed sound experience.
Additionally, the integrated high-frequency shielding system is adapted from the Goldfinger Statement. Clearaudio also emphasizes an optimized configuration of neodymium magnets and an updated coil geometry. The tracking accuracy is achieved through a newly engineered angular boron stylus, which is designed to complement the capabilities of the precision-cut Micro-HD diamond stylus.
The Diamond Jubilee MC is reported to achieve a channel separation of at least 35 dB, with a channel balance of under 0.15 dB. Clearaudio guarantees a pristine, uncolored sound reproduction that captures every subtle detail of the music being played.
