In order to ‘feed’ the moving coil (MC) Goldfinger Statement with adequate music material, Clearaudio founded a music production department specialised in audiophile recordings of all genres.
“the clearaudio goldfinger statement is one of the finest cartridges that i have heard to date. the alignment woes and the downforce concerns simply evaporated as soon as i started listening. this is a cartridge that sounds exactly as one might expect given its mass and tracking weight. put simply, it has a big, bold, enveloping sound and dynamic abilities that absolutely take your breath away. it brings performers right to the fore, laps up complex bass lines, images with pinpoint perfection and yet can rustle up the most ethereal sense of delicacy when required. […] rediscover your record collection!”
