Description
The Charisma V2.1 is Clearaudio founder Peter Suchy’s Moving
Magnet masterpiece, setting new performance standards for MM cartridge clarity,
soundstaging, bass, and dynamics. The Charisma V2.1 is Clearaudio’s flagship
Moving Magnet cartridge, using the same Boron cantilever and double-polished
Micro-HD stylus found in their top-of-the-range Goldfinger Statement MC

response and excellent channel separation. The Charisma V2.1 output is a real
world 3.6 MV, allowing it to easily drive most phono stages for maximum system

added mass and resonance control.

Mike (verified owner) –
I own the Marantz TT-15S1 and The Clearaudio Charisma Cartridge is a unbelievable sounding cartridge, It’s there flagship of MM cartridges!
The sound is stunning crisp airy highs and punchy bass, this cartridge does it all, it picks up everything in the groves and provides a wide and huge soundstage!
Yes it’s expensive but if your huge into vinyl, this cartridge is your endgame, separation and vocals are very rich in detailed, also depends on what kind of different Pressings you are listening to as well. The Clearaudio Charisma has it all, It also sounds much better then digital! I can keep on talking about this cartridge till I’m blue in the face, every time I spin a album it gives me the chills, I hear things that I never did before..A must BUY!
