Clearaudio da Vinci V2 MC Cartridge

I was skeptical at first, but the tracking precision on complex passages is noticeably better than my old cartridge. The ceramic coating gives me confidence it’ll hold up over time, which matters for a piece this delicate.

The ceramic coating feels incredibly robust, and the tracking on complex passages is significantly cleaner than my old cartridge. The aluminum body gives it a solid, premium heft that inspires confidence during setup.

The extra-hard ceramic coating feels incredibly durable, and it tracks warped records better than my previous cartridge. I’m impressed with the clarity, though it took a few hours to break in. A solid upgrade for my system.
