Clearaudio's Goldfinger Bookmark and Share Posted Sun Jan 8, 2006, 1:18 PM ET

The German Clearaudio company, ever-reverent of James Bond's lineage of luxury philosophy, introduced the $17,000 Goldfinger cartridge. Magnets have been doubled up to eight pieces, and a dynamic range of an extraordinary 100dB is claimed. Eric Clapton's "Layla" on vinyl (Reprise 9362-4502-1) never sounded better, I thought.

I guess Mickey just found the new cartridge for the Continuum.

Broke the stylus clean off mine last night :-( Best sounding cartridge out there, compared it to the Dynavector DR-XV1s & Insider Reference Wood, huge dynamic range & clarity.

I hear that is the cartridge the SE version of the Continuum is going to come standard with. Just kidding! Just kidding! Jeez...
