You will find in this section what we hear in the world about the Talea™.
One of our first customers (s/n 003) has written a detailed review of his experience with the Talea™:
“The overall effect is startling realistic reproduction. The music is dynamic, while simultaneously, subtleties are coaxed from the grooves.(...) The Talea brings me closer to the musicians' vision and draws me deeper into the music. It sounds wonderful with delicate chamber music and captures the wild energy of The White Stripes. It is expensive, but the owner receives tremendous musical pleasure, i.e. value.
I take it as fact that there is no single piece of gear that will satisfy everyone's criteria for the 'best'. I have heard a prototype of the Talea on a Dobbin's modified Garrard and with ZYX Universe and Ortofon A90 cartridges. Not only did it sound wonderful with them all, it revealed their unique sonic signatures.
I believe the Talea deserves consideration as one of the best tonearms currently available. Highly recommended.”
