My dealer called yesterday. They have been talking with Musical Surroundings, where they ordered both the Talismann and the Fosgate from for me.

Naturally, I am on the road until Friday now, so I will pick it up then on my way home and see if the adjustment "sticks" this time.

If it doesn't stick, I will be done with that cartridge. Do you know how much credit they will give?
Sounds like they did an azimuth adjustment. If that is off enough it can definitely affect the balance of the output.

The credit depends on which Clearaudio cartridge you are getting as a replacement. For example, Needle Doctor charges $2200 for a $2750 Concerto v2 with a Talisman v2 trade. I think Ivan (MasterLu) might be able to do you even better. Ask him.
