The Clearaudio Jubilee MC is the first cartridge from Clearaudio to feature a body made from Panzerholz, a high-tech natural wood product known for its high density, strength, and extremely low resonance. Despite its robustness, Panzerholz is surprisingly light, contributing to the cartridge's excellent performance. The Jubilee MC uses a boron cantilever with a Clearaudio Prime Line stylus, and 24-carat gold wire coils arranged in an absolutely symmetrical design to ensure high efficiency and clear, detailed sound reproduction. It offers a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, an output voltage of 0.5mV at 5 cm/sec, channel separation greater than 32dB, and channel balance under 0.5dB. The cartridge weighs approximately 7.5g and has a recommended tracking force of 2.8g (±0.2g). It is backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. The Jubilee MC is praised for its marriage of cutting-edge technology and acoustic craftsmanship, delivering a natural and dynamic listening experience.
