Talisman V2 Gold

About the Talisman V2 Gold

The Clearaudio Talismann V2 Gold MC phono cartridge represents a breakthrough in analog music reproduction as part of Clearaudio's V2 generation. It employs a fully symmetrical generator design—mechanically, magnetically, and electrically—with eight super neodymium magnets and 24-karat pure gold air-core coils operating in a stronger magnetic field for 30% higher efficiency. The cartridge features a rigid boron cantilever paired with a low-mass Micro HD or Prime Line diamond stylus (hybrid parabolic geometry, tip mass 0.00016g) for precise groove tracing and high-frequency linearity. Its hand-polished ebony wood body with internal metal alloy resonance damping minimizes vibrations and enhances headshell coupling, delivering smooth, dynamic sound with rich midrange, solid bass, clarity, and a wide dynamic range. Ideal as an entry-level V2 model, it outperforms many competitors in its price range and pairs well with high-end phono stages at 400 Ohms loading.
