I haven't heard one, but sure would like to....I just got a Concept TT last week. They are supposed to match up very nicely.

I've not heard the cartridge either. CA certainly make a fine sounding cartridge so I can't imagine it being anything but good. But without hearing one that pretty much means nothing.

I guess we will all have to wait and see if someone reviews it. Hopefully soon....

I read it was based on the Clearaudio Aurum.

Isn't the Aurum a moving magnet cartridge?

Indeed it is, I must have read that from one of the early reviews. The pics and specs,together with the pdf owners manual are all up on Clearaudio's webpage.

clearaudio - Cartridges / Concept MC

(there seems to be some wide price variations, some UK dealers have it for £990, whilst other at a more reasonable £545)

Interesting that the cartridge body is an Aluminum-Magnesium alloy with ceramic surface layer. That is quite unique.
