Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement V2.1 MC Cartridge

The Goldfinger Statement V2.1 from Clearaudio: Technological innovation for perfection in sound

With the Goldfinger Statement V2.1, Clearaudio presents an outstanding cartridge that combines the highest precision and modern technology. This revised version continues the legacy of its predecessor and sets new standards for audiophiles and hi-fi enthusiasts with its advanced technology and elegant design.

Innovation through stronger magnets and precise selection

A key feature of the Goldfinger Statement V2.1 is the use of more powerful magnets, which enable a finer and more detailed sound transmission. A new selection process takes the sound reproduction to a new level, making the entire frequency range clear and unadulterated. Music lovers can enjoy a level of detail that perfectly reproduces even the finest nuances of a recording.

Thanks to the innovative magnet and selection technology, the Goldfinger Statement V2.1 surpasses many other systems and offers a sound that meets the highest demands.

Improved scanning accuracy through optimized needle carrier

A key innovation in the Goldfinger Statement V2.1 is the optimized angle of the needle carrier, which enables particularly precise tracking of the record groove. This adjustment minimizes distortion and ensures lossless reproduction of the original recording. The exact coordination between the diamond tip and the groove structure leads to clear and authentic sound reproduction.

The needle carrier is designed to precisely follow the record groove, which supports a longer lifespan of the cartridge and gentle handling of the record. These technical optimizations increase the quality and make the Goldfinger Statement V2.1 the perfect choice for audiophile systems.

Elegance in design: The striking V-engraving

The Goldfinger Statement V2.1 also impresses visually with its elegant design. The striking V-engraving gives the pickup a subtle but modern aesthetic and underlines the high quality of the model. The gold body is manufactured using a precise manufacturing process that ensures exact shaping and gives the pickup stability and geometric accuracy. These properties promote consistent sound quality that meets even the most demanding requirements.

The 585 gold housing is not only an aesthetic highlight, but also offers the pickup a robust base that can last for generations.

Audiophile music productions for the highest sound demands

To fully exploit the sonic possibilities of the Goldfinger Statement V2.1, Clearaudio has set up its own music production department that produces audiophile recordings. These recordings cover various genres and are specifically tailored to the intricacies of the Goldfinger Statement V2.1. This ensures that the cartridge receives the best possible sound material and can reproduce the recordings in detail.

These productions enhance the music experience and enable authentic reproduction that emphasizes even the finest acoustic details. Clearaudio sets a standard for comprehensive audiophile listening and offers discerning listeners music in the highest sound quality.

Technical perfection: choice of materials and precise workmanship

Its predecessor, the Goldfinger Statement V1, was already a pioneer in the field of pickup technology and the first pickup with integrated RF shielding. With the Goldfinger Statement V2.1, Clearaudio continues this tradition and improves all technical aspects. The pickup has a 30 percent thinner, 24-carat gold wire for the coils and a precision-ground gold bracket to fix the magnet block, which makes the sound pickup even more precise.

The world-famous Micro-HD diamond ensures perfect tracking and raises music playback to the highest level of precision. The result is a pickup that reproduces sound in its purest form and tracks the record groove with unprecedented accuracy. These high-quality materials and the complex manufacturing process make the Goldfinger Statement V2.1 a long-lasting valuable object that can last for generations if carefully cared for.
