Clearaudio Titanium V2.1 MC Phono Cartridge

Clearaudio Titanium V2.1 MC Phono Cartridge

What You Need to Know

One Step from the Summit

The Clearaudio Titanium V2.1 MC Phono Cartridge stands second only to the Goldfinger Statement in Clearaudio’s moving coil hierarchy—and shares far more than its position. Handmade in Erlangen, Germany, its generator is built from super-matched components culled from Goldfinger Statement production, housed in a body machined from solid titanium.

Reviewers have called it a lifetime cartridge. The measurements agree.

Solid Titanium Body

Titanium offers the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element—non-magnetic, heat-resistant, and superbly shielding. Clearaudio machines the Titanium’s entire twelve-finger mounting plate and generator housing from it, eliminating resonance to a degree wood and aluminum cannot match.

Goldfinger-Culled Generator

Clearaudio grades every generator component it makes, and the finest examples—those approaching flagship tolerances—go into the Titanium. The results are measurable: channel separation beyond 30dB, channel balance within 0.3dB, 90µm tracking ability, and dynamic range approaching 95dB.

Prime Line Stylus on Solid Boron

The Prime Line diamond—the hybrid-parabolic profile developed for the Goldfinger Statement—is bonded into a solid boron cantilever, retrieving detail, air, and texture with an ease that must be heard.

Patented Symmetrical Generator with 24k Gold Coils

Dual air-core coils of pure 24-karat gold sit inside a ring of eight super neodymium magnets in Clearaudio’s absolutely symmetrical generator—the architecture behind every great Clearaudio MC, executed here at its near-ultimate level.

Handmade in Germany

Every Titanium V2.1 is assembled and tested by hand at Clearaudio’s factory in Erlangen, Germany, and backed by a two-year warranty with registration.

Building Your System

The Titanium V2.1 is a low-output moving coil that demands—and rewards—a world-class turntable, tonearm, and MC phono stage (typical loading around 300 ohms). At 10 grams, it partners beautifully with quality medium-mass arms.

When the stylus eventually wears, Clearaudio’s generous MC trade-in and exchange program protects your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a moving coil phono preamp?
Yes. The Titanium V2.1 is a low-output (0.5mV) moving coil and deserves a world-class MC phono stage or step-up transformer.

How does the Titanium compare to the Da Vinci v2.1?
The Titanium adds the solid titanium body and Goldfinger-culled generator parts—measurably better channel separation, balance, and tracking ability.

How does it compare to the Goldfinger Statement v2.1?
The Goldfinger remains Clearaudio’s cost-no-object statement, with its 14-karat gold body and ultimate parts selection. The Titanium delivers a substantial share of that performance at less than two-thirds the price.

Who is the Titanium V2.1 designed for?
It’s for the uncompromising analog devotee seeking a true lifetime cartridge—flagship engineering in its most rational form.
