Talisman S cartridge
Got a Talisman S in 1989 with a Linn LP12/Basik set. Discovered to my delight that this one had a Van Den Hull tip on it. It has given me excellent service over the years, but needs to be re-tipped. Strangely enough the best performance I ever got from this cartidge, was when it was on a Grace G-727/CJ Walker 55 deck. I might have to follow the route of getting a new cartridge if the cost to have the Talisman refurbished is prohibitive. I also have a Talisman A that I am currently using.
