I bought this cartridge here a few years ago from well known AC member TONEPUB (Jeff Dorgay of Tone Audio mag). Jeff was original owner and described it as "
perfect, less than 100 hrs".
I have several cartridges in rotation, so it's had only light use -- maybe another 100 hrs max, to be conservative. I'm a knowledgeable and careful vinyl enthusiast, so it's been gently treated. Comes from a child / pet / and smoke free home. Current condition is basically as I received it.
Thoroughly inspected today in bright light with my 30x jewelers loupe. Cantilever is straight and true, stylus is very clean and very sharp. Pics are of actual cartridge, taken today. Excellent cosmetically and functionally. I guarantee no surprises!
Mounting hardware included. It came to me without original box / stylus guard / paperwork, so I can't provide it. It will ship very safely in Denon box shown in photos.
This is a well reviewed and highly regarded MM cartridge. 3.6mV output, rec'd load at 47k, weighs 7g, compliance of 15.
Current retail is $1200. Asking
$550 $525 total, I'll pay CONUS shipping and PP fees.
Check AG name spelly for my perfect feedback, and buy with confidence.
Thanks for looking........John
