Spoke with Chuck Hinton, last week, and when asked about the MT5, he stated that they were being assembled and should be available next month.

I like the looks of the MT5 and hope it is a good performer and successful in the marketplace.

I still do not have a feel for what cartridge they are planning on putting on the MT5. The MT10 uses an entry level cartridge and it accounts for 25% of the MT10 cost.

Bill - believe you are misstating this. The only 'entry level' part of the Talismann is that it is Clearaudio's entry-level MC cartridge. Am not sure that most folks would consider a $1500 cartridge to be 'entry level' (with the possible exception of Ivan ). Would think a $300-400 MC cartridge would be more of an 'entry level'. While there are certainly better/more expensive cartridges out there, one needs to consider the rest of the their vinyl rig to insure they are not wasting money with a more expensive cartridge (better IC, better phono preamp, etc.)

See description below. Clearaudio Talisman V2 Moving Coil Cartridge The Talismann V2 Gold provides the entry level into the latest "V2" - Generation of clearaudio MC cartridges providing outstanding performance for less than 1,000 Euros. A major improvement over its predecessor is the use of a patented configuration of 8 magnets, which is characterized by the extremely wide dynamic range. In common with all the MC cartridges in the new "V2"- Generation, the Talismann V2 Gold is fitted with a Micro HD stylus (HD=High Definition) 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 most fine musical details. The body of the new Talismann V2 Gold is made out of hand-polished ebony with metal top plate and an internal metal-alloy resonance-suppressing block. The name "Gold" refers to the MC generator of the clearaudio Talismann V2 Gold, 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. Technical specifications: Cartridge weight: 10.8 g Stylus shape: Micro HD Cantilever: Boron Coil assembly: Fully symmetrical around pivot point Coil material: 24-Karat gold Compliance: 15/15 µ/mN Recommended tracking force: 2.8 g Crosstalk: > 30 dB Channel difference: < 0.5 dB Output voltage: 0.7 mV at 5 cm/s Cartridge Impedance: 30 Ohms |
