“Promoted as [Clearaudio] founder Peter Suchy’s ‘moving-magnet masterpiece’, the Charisma V2 confirms in the listening that this claim is no exaggeration,” writes US magazine The Absolute Sound’s reviewer Neil Gader.

The Charisma V2 is the flagship of Clearaudio’s MM cartridge range. It features a mass-loaded, low-resonance, ebony-wood body, and sports some top-notch features including the same diamond-coated Boron cantilever found in the company’s world-leading Goldfinger Statement MC cartridge. The use of highly efficient magnets gives the Charisma V2 a “real-world” output of 3.6mV.

“But it’s the raw musicality of Charisma that had me spinning LPs like a demented DJ,” writes Gader. “Naturalistic and detailed, Charisma offers up classic midrange bloom and image stability, plus a full palette of tonal colors, dynamic electricity, and top-end sweetness.”

“Charisma…either you’ve got it or you don’t. This cartridge has got it.”
