Clearaudio Maestro Wood phono cartridge

This $1000 cartridge blurs the performance line between moving coil and moving magnet designs and may be the most balanced MM cartridge we’ve heard. Warm and romantic like an entry-level Koetsu, the Maestro will elevate the performance of Regas and SL-1200s to new levels, and may also find a place as a “daily driver” in some very expensive analog rigs as well.
