Durand Tonearms Balancing nature and technology






September 2010:
New section in the Support Page: Customers’ Corner.
Here you will find some useful information about the Talea™, such as the User Guide, mouting templates, arc protractors, and Tips and Tricks. Don’t hesitate to email us your ideas and tricks that you’ve discovered while using the Talea™. We will share them in that section. Thanks!

====================


August 2010:
We are pleased to announce the addition of three dealers in the USA, all on the east coast: Dan Edmonson, Al Helo and Robin Wyatt. Check the
Auditions/Sales page for contact information.

We have one unit left of the first generation Talea™, which can still be purchased for $6,500.
Don’t wait if you want a Talea™ at the lower price!

====================

July 2010:
The introductory price period is coming to an end: as of October 1, 2010, the price of the Talea™ will be $7,900.
On that occasion a new Talea™ will be introduced, which will include features that some of you have requested: an arm rest, and a different, more ergonomic system for tightening the VTA tower, as well as a few other small improvements. The armwand will be made of a different wood.
This new Talea will be available for purchase shortly after the 2010 RMAF.

------------------


The Talea™ is now available in Indonesia: it is distributed by
Finesse Audio.

====================

June 2010:
- New finish!! We now offer an alternate plating on the Talea™ base: polished black nickel! Check out the photos in the
Gallery page.


- The Talea™has been in production since March 2010, and the first batch has sold out. A big THANKS to our first customers!

We are now processing orders from the second batch.


====================


March 2010:
The first production unit of the TALEA™ was on display at the
Audo Expo North America in Jacksonville (FL), in the Lee Island Audio room (March 5-7, 2010)
