It came with a Sumiko Talisman Virtuoso that was retipped by Soundsmith. I heard great things about the cartridge so I got a SUT and used it for awhile. These days I'm using a Grado Statement or Reference not sure that I got a deal on. The Talisman had a 0.3 mv output and the Grado is 0.5 mv. The Alphason is a one piece tonearm so I can't easily compare the two cartridges but they both have a nice warm midrange bloom and a wonderful treble From what I can tell. Yes, the Thorens was nice, it was a Jubilee. I sold that to pay for the Sota that I always wanted. In hindsight with the current market I should have found a way to hold on to it.
