For sale is my barely used Ortofon Black cartridge. I have had it on my table for about 6 months and it has really low hours (estimating less than 100 hours). This is one of the best MM cartridges you can get - solid deep pass, great detail, perfect tone and timbre...its really good. The only reason I am moving on is my new preamp is MC only. My loss is your gain.
Features "The Black outputs a healthy 5mV, with a stated frequency range of 20Hz-31kHz. Load resistance is 47k ohms. Recommended tracking force is 1.5 grams with a total cartridge weight of 7.2 grams." "Its body is made up of a special Noryl plastic/glass mixture that Ortofon has found to offer high rigidity together with the elimination of unwanted resonances, and it gives the cartridge a pleasingly high-tech look. The Black uses a special upgraded engine different from those used in the less expensive 2M cartridges." "The stylus shape is nude Shibata, which is the same type used on Ortofon’s upscale Jubilee moving-coil cartridge."
$360.00 OBO (buyer to pay shipping as well)
