ClearaudioTalismann V2 Gold

A major improvement over its predecessor is the use of a patented configuration of 8 magnets for extremely wide dynamic range. The Talismann V2 Gold is fitted with a Micro HD stylus and a precision boron cantilever. The Micro HD diamond achieves a perfect contact with the record groove walls and  by virtue of its extremely low mass, is able to faithfully reproduce even the finest musical details. The name "Gold" refers to the MC generator in which the coils are manufactured from pure 24-karat gold wire. The combination of these unique features sets the clearaudio Talismann V2 Gold apart from other MC cartridges in this price range.
