Clearaudio Jubilee Phono Cartridge

Panzerholz is a high-density, compressed laminate wood known for its exceptional rigidity and natural damping properties. In this cartridge, it effectively minimizes unwanted resonance, which helps produce a cleaner, more dynamic sound compared to standard plastic or metal housings.

Yes, it is designed for broad compatibility. As a moving-magnet (MM) cartridge with a standard 47k-ohm load requirement and a healthy 3.6 mV output, it should integrate seamlessly with almost any standard MM phono stage.

The elliptical stylus is a classic choice that offers a great balance between tracking accuracy and groove contact. It provides excellent detail retrieval and tonal balance, making it a reliable performer for a wide variety of record collections.

A tracking force of 2.2g is standard for this design and ensures the stylus stays firmly in the groove for superior tracking stability. Always ensure your tonearm is properly balanced and calibrated to this specific weight to protect your records.

At 8.8 grams, this cartridge is relatively standard in weight. It should be compatible with most modern tonearms, but it is always good practice to check your tonearm's effective mass specifications to ensure it falls within the recommended range for a cartridge of this weight.
