Clearaudio Talisman V2.1 Phono Cartridge

The twelve-finger mounting plate is engineered to minimize unwanted cartridge body resonances. By effectively dampening these vibrations, it ensures a cleaner, more stable signal transmission from your records.

Yes, because the Micro-HD Diamond tip features a significantly reduced mass, it is highly sensitive to alignment. You should ensure your tonearm is precisely calibrated to the recommended 2.8 g tracking force to achieve optimal detail retrieval.

This generator design increases magnetic efficiency by 30%, which allows the cartridge to produce a more robust output. This results in improved dynamic range and a more vivid, responsive sound profile compared to standard moving coil designs.

With an output voltage of 0.5 mV and a coil impedance of 50 Ohm, this cartridge is compatible with most high-quality moving coil phono stages. Ensure your phono preamp supports these specifications to get the best performance from the cartridge.

While the human ear cannot hear up to 100 kHz, this extended frequency response indicates the cartridge's ability to handle complex transients and high-frequency harmonics with extreme accuracy. This contributes to a more natural, open, and spacious soundstage.

Ebony wood is chosen for its excellent acoustic properties and natural density. It acts as a superior housing material that helps control internal resonances, contributing to the cartridge's warm, balanced, and detailed sonic character.
