Talisman

About the Talisman

The Walker Audio Talisman is a unique, purely passive device that requires no batteries or power cords and never needs recharging. It contains strong, uniquely oriented magnets set in epoxy within a small aluminum holder, covered on one side by a velvet-like static dissipating surface. The Talisman temporarily dissipates magnetic fields and static electricity that can negatively affect audio and video playback equipment and source materials. It is used by moving it close to LPs, CDs, SACDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-ray discs, speaker drivers, and audio/video cables to improve signal purity and accuracy. The effect is temporary and must be applied before each playback session. Users report smoother, more natural sound with improved depth, airiness, and bass definition, as well as enhanced picture clarity on DVDs. It was created by Lloyd Walker, a respected figure in the audio industry, and is considered part of his legacy. The Talisman is recommended to be used in combination with Walker Audio's Ultra Vivid cleaning fluid for best results on discs. It is also effective on speakers by moving it rapidly across the drivers, with the effect lasting a full listening session. The device is compact, heavy, and easy to incorporate into audio system routines.
