Offered is „Talisman - MC System (NOS)“ by clearaudio as second-hand device from the category „Pick-up MC“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8964776747 ends on 16.11.2026 at 10:46 o'clock.
This is a strong deal: at €990, it sits well below the €1,765 25th percentile of your recent comparator set, and far under the €3,728 median. Against that market, the ask looks bargain-level rather than merely fair.
For a buyer, the appeal is the combination of NOS status and a respected Clearaudio moving-coil cartridge, which usually means clean presentation, preserved originality, and the chance to get a high-end analogue piece without paying collector pricing. At this level, it’s the kind of listing that rewards a quick move, especially if the stylus suspension is fresh and the box, mounting hardware, and paperwork are intact.

Clearaudio, a pinnacle of German analog engineering, traces its roots to 1978 in Erlangen, when founder Peter Suchy patented the company's inaugural moving-coil cartridge. This family-owned enterprise, now steered by Peter's children—Patrick, Veronica, and Robert Suchy—has upheld a relentless pursuit of perfection, encapsulated in its philosophy: "Take the best and make it better, only then is it just good enough." Over 45 years, Clearaudio has evolved from humble beginnings into a global benchmark for vinyl playback, crafting products in its high-tech facility amid the scientific hub of Friedrich-Alexander University.
The brand's portfolio centers on high-end turntables, renowned for their transparent acrylic components, parallel-tracking tonearms, and precision mechanics that deliver unparalleled rotational stability. Complementing these are meticulously engineered moving-coil cartridges, phonostages, and tonearms, with extensions into analog accessories and even reissued Deutsche Grammophon classical recordings. While not venturing deeply into digital realms or speakers, Clearaudio's focus remains unyieldingly analog, prioritizing symbiotic magnetic, mechanical, and electrical symmetry for lifelike sound reproduction.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Clearaudio commands respect among discerning vinyl enthusiasts worldwide, serving over 80 countries with turntables that redefine standards. Its boutique reputation stems from in-house innovation and flawless German craftsmanship, appealing to collectors and serious listeners who demand reference-level performance without compromise.
