The Charisma Audio Model G-2 is a high-performance moving coil (MC) phono cartridge engineered for audiophiles seeking exceptional tracking accuracy, fast transient response, and smooth, balanced frequency reproduction. Built around a pure iron cross-coil structure and an ultra-rigid ruby cantilever, it delivers outstanding micro-detail and low distortion across the entire audible spectrum.
Featuring a precision elliptical stylus tip, the Model G-2 achieves superior channel separation and exceptional channel balance. Optimized for medium-mass tonearms, it operates at a delicate tracking force centered around 1.35 grams, making it an ideal choice for high-end analogue setups requiring both gentle record care and reference-grade sonic clarity.
KEY FEATURES
- Ruby Cantilever: Features an ultra-rigid ruby cantilever designed for minimal deflection, fast acoustic transmission speed, and low resonance.
- Precision Elliptical Stylus: Outfitted with an elliptical nude diamond stylus (r/R = 5/15 µm) for accurate groove tracing and detailed high-frequency performance.
- Pure Iron Cross Coil: Employs a low-mass pure iron cross-coil design to maintain high channel separation and wide dynamic range.
- Ultra-Low Dynamic Compliance: Tuned for optimal performance when paired with medium-mass tonearm systems.
- Refined Tracking Performance: Operates at an optimal 1.35 g tracking force while delivering excellent 70 µm tracking ability at 315 Hz.
