Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement v2 vs My Sonic Lab (MSL) Signature Platinum

I have a MSL Platinum, and it sounds great. I haven't heard the Goldfinger.

This would also be a good place to search and to ask your question.

mijostyn,

Thanks for your insight.

I own a Signature Platinum and have used Clearaudio Cartridges but not the Goldfinger. The Platinum is an exceptional tracker and a bit on the warmer side of neutral. It has a higher output giving a great signal to noise ration. It is also very low impedance making it great for transimpedance or current mode phono stages. It will be a bit less tense working with it as it does not have an exposed cantilever. It is not as detailed, dynamic, or neutral as Ortofon's MC Diamond, but the diamond is very low output and unless you have an exceptional phono stage you will hear hiss at louder volumes. SS phono stages and transformers only need apply. 

There may be one for sale with a fully disclosed history below....
