Clearaudio Charisma v2.1 Ebony

The Charisma V2.1 is Clearaudio founder Peter Suchy’s Moving Magnet masterpiece, setting new performance standards for MM cartridge clarity, sound staging, bass, and dynamics. The Charisma V2.1 is Clearaudio’s flagship Moving Magnet cartridge, using the same Boron cantilever and newly improved Prime Line stylus found in their top-of-the-range Goldfinger Statement V2.1 MC cartridge. Handmade in their German factory the generator utilizes ultra high-efficiency magnets that are precisely matched, ensuring flat frequency 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 compatibility. It is housed in a special Ebony wood body with silver inlay for added mass and resonance control.

The Charisma V2 was awarded the 2018 Golden Ear by Neil Gader and The Absolute Sound.
