Perfect symbiosis: The stylus carrier of the Goldfinger Statement V2.1, optimised in its tracking angle, guarantees incorruptible tracking accuracy in the tonearm.

Further developed cantilever

The newly designed cantilever operates at an optimised angle and improves tracking accuracy. Visually, too, the Goldfinger Statement V2.1 appears further developed: a V engraving underlines its understated elegance.

Jewel of analogue technology: The body crafted from solid 585 gold houses wafer-thin coils made of 24-carat gold wire and highly effective RF shielding.
