The Goldfinger V2 is a moving coil cartridge that balances high resolution with a fuller, more natural sound. It features a hyperparabolic Micro-HD-Diamond stylus with a very low mass (0.00016g), which improves tracking and reduces distortion. The cartridge uses twelve tabs on the mounting plate to minimize body resonances and a solid gold chassis for stability. It employs twice as many super neodymium magnets as previous models, creating a stronger magnetic field that raises output voltage to about 0.8mV and achieves a dynamic range exceeding 100dB. The Goldfinger V2 is praised for its soundstaging, imaging, and low-level detail, making it a reference-level cartridge in its class.
