Clearaudio products are considered to be  innovative, of real quality, manufactured according to the highest standards by hi-fi specialists, for hi-fi enthusiasts.Worldwide known Hi-Fi reviewers commented for Sigma as follows:The Sigma’s open and incredibly direct translation of groove to music is stunning and refreshing, though at times bordering on too much of a good thing. In the end, the very best records seem to take on a new life and are stripped of any scrims between the music and the listener, while not-so-good recordings are revealed to be the lesser efforts that they are. The lightweight, 0.5 mv output Sigma will be at home with any phono preamp capable of amplifying moving coils, and its very reasonable output will tend to make for a bit better signal-to-noise ratio than normal. The body of the Sigma is made out of Fernambuk wood, a rare, extremely lightweight wood sourced from a famous violin bow maker. It has wonderful musical properties and offers an extremely low effective mass, excellent for linear tracking tonearms.The specific cartridge has been used for 100 hours approximately as it has been purchased as a reserve spare cartridge. It has been inspected by Benz Micro in Switzerland and found to be in excellent condition.Technical Specifications Sigma:Total mass: 3.2gDiamond shape: Trygon P II (double polished)Zip radius 5/40 µmCantilever: BORONCoil array: Symmetrical to pivot pointCompliance hor./vert.: 15/15 µ/mNTracking force: 2.2p (individual)Channel separation: > 25 dBChannel balance: < 0.5 dBOutput voltage: 0.5 mV (at 5 cm/sec)Electrical Impedance: 50 OhmHousing Material: Fernambuk-WoodABOUT MEI am a dealer of Hi-Fi/Hi End audiovisual parts & devices and one of the few BENZ MICRO cartridge resellers.
