{"product_id":"clearaudioartistv2ersatznadel","title":"Clearaudio Artist V2 Replacement Stylus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Artist V2 Replacement Stylus is the original stylus replacement for the Clearaudio Artist V2 moving magnet cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cartridge is made of one part that ages and many that don't. Over the years the diamond wears round, while the ebony body and the hand-selected generator stay just as good as they were on day one. That's why, on the Artist V2, Clearaudio renews only the stylus unit – not half your analog budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the original stylus replacement?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Artist V2 is selected for 24 dB channel separation and around 3.6 mV output voltage. These figures depend directly on the stylus unit fitted at the factory. A copy would shift that balance even if it fit mechanically – and there simply isn't a reputable one for the V2 range anyway. The original replacement restores the as-shipped condition, not some approximation of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, elliptically ground diamond on an aluminum cantilever, fitted at the factory and checked in the finished cartridge. Afterward your Artist V2 sits in the groove again with full tracking ability, plays linearly from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and shows the spacious, colorful character you bought it for again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Artist V2 Replacement Stylus for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of an Artist V2 whose tracking is fading – typically noticeable as distortion in the inner grooves and harsh sibilants. Plain talk: the swap runs through the factory, so you'll be without a cartridge for a while. If you want to keep listening right away instead, you'll need a second system or a second headshell. And this number doesn't fit other Clearaudio models – not even the visually similar Performer V2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe obvious choice if you've enjoyed your Artist V2 for years: same sound, same adjustment values, no need to get used to anything new. At HD Zürisee we take a look at the stylus under magnification beforehand – in Wädenswil or from a sharp macro photo you send us. That way you'll know whether it's the stylus or just the setup that's at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clearaudio Artist V2 (Moving Magnet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e stylus replacement on the returned cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM009\/E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e elliptical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.4 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 3.6 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm\/s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended tracking force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2 g ± 0.3 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended capacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e stylus replacement on the returned Artist V2; you get your system back with a new stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the stylus replacement work for the Artist V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge is sent in, Clearaudio fits a new stylus unit, and you get your system back. A user change at home isn't intended for the Artist V2. We handle the process and shipping so you don't have to worry about anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the tonearm adjustment survive the swap?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, because the cartridge leaves the headshell. On reinstallation, overhang, offset angle, azimuth, tracking force and anti-skating are reset. If you have an alignment protractor and steady hands, you can do it yourself; otherwise our technician takes care of it, including a measurement check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a stylus actually last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on playing hours, tracking force, and above all on how clean your records are. Dust acts like sandpaper. Anyone who wet-cleans regularly and dusts off the stylus gets noticeably more out of it. Only a check under the microscope gives real certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Artist V2 Replacement Stylus from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we don't treat analog as a side business: we first check whether the stylus is actually worn, then organize the factory swap, and afterward adjust your system properly. As an authorized Clearaudio partner you get the original part.
