Clearaudio Stradivari V2 phono cartridge in orig box

This listing is for
a preowned Clearaudio Stradavari V2 phono cartridge from an estate
sale. In excellent condition, even under a microscope. Believed to
have 400-500 hours on it.

Orig msrp is $3000, offered for $1500 plus $40 domestic shipping

An impressive
95¬decibel dynamic range is made possible through the use of
patented V2 technology and of the finest high-end materials. This
lightweight precision cartridge weighs only seven grams. It is the
result of highly devotional microscopic craftsmanship – mastery of
perfection in design and material selection. Important ingredients
are a body of long-aged ebony, a precisely ground twelve finger
platform and coils of 24-gold. The result: a stunning listening
experience of almost unbelievable transparency and depth. A name to
live up to. Meticulousness of design, spurred on by a goal of
redefining the best and raising the bar ever higher, have led to a
masterpiece of German craftsmanship.
