The Talisman v2.1 is the first model in the Clearaudio MC line that uses our patents developed in the 1970s by Peter Suchy for a fully symmetrical moving coil phono cartridge design. What’s more is that it uses the v2 generator, positioning their 24-karat pure gold air-core coils with twice the magnets, so the coils are operating in a much stronger magnetic field. 
 
Housed in a unique Ebony wood body that provides better coupling to the headshell and resonance tuning, the Talisman v2.1 has richness and fullness without sacrificing resolution. As with all Clearaudio MCs, it uses a solid boron rod cantilever. The new Clearaudio Prime Line stylus provides a hybrid parabolic geometry and a reduction of tip mass, assuring more accuracy in groove tracing and high-frequency linearity.
