Overview
A Technological Breakthrough! The Clearaudio Concerto is designed and built using the technological advances made in the new MC line. Gone is the more analytic sound of the older designs, which were voiced primarily for classic listeners. Now, Clearaudio has redesigned the entire line of MC Cartridges and they are fantastic. Still with lightning-fast transients and unprecedented detail retrieval, but now voiced for an overall sense of analog-like warmth and richness. In other words, these new cartridges are the best of both worlds: incredibly fast and dynamic, incredible extension at both frequency extremes and now with a mid-band richness that will send shivers up your spine! The Concerto may be the introductory cartridge in the line, but don't be surprised to find this diamond in the rough on the short list of every analog reviewer in the business. It's definitely on ours! Call about trading in your old Clearaudio cartridge for an even better deal!
