CLEARAUDIO - TALISMANN MC CARTRIDGE
New Entry-Level Clearudio Talismann Offers Expetional Sound Quality and Great Build-Quality All at an Affordable Price!
Entry-level MC cartridges have a new champion. It's the new Clearaudio Talismann! This completely new cartridge design has established another benchmark for Clearaudio, offering you unbeatable performance for the price. The resolution and dynamic range, the full-bodied weight and warmth, and the shimmering brilliance sets this new MC design apart from the pack in ways that other cartrdiges just cannot match.
The Talismann is designed using clearaudio's "Ultimate Refinement" philosophy. Painstaking care is taken to manufacture this piece with remarkable consistency and the proof is in the sound!
Clearaudio's innovative ideas (gained from many years of designing and manufacturing cartridges) are combined with special construction techniques used in musical instrument manufacturing and are applied with German precision engineering and craftsmanship. The hand polished ebony tone-wood body is slightly rounded, which leads to resonance free construction. Its high impedance, together with higher output voltage, ensures noise free musical reproduction. The ruler-flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz provides solid, realistic bass, an uncoloured, rich midband and a natural high frequency presentation.
