Available is the venerable and highly regarded Denon DL-103R. The Soundsmith retip with its Ruby cantilever and sophisticated Contact Line stylus (versus the stock spherical stylus) elevates an already great cart to a whole other level of detail, refinement and incisiveness.
I bought this cartridge about 2.5 yrs ago from the original owner. He told me the re-tip had about 150 hrs on it. I have several carts in rotation so I estimate I added maybe another 50 hrs max.
Before each play I clean the LP and the stylus. Cantilever is straight and centered, stylus is clean and sharp. Condition is excellent, it tracks like a champ and sounds great.
Included: Stylus guard, mounting screws, original and Soundsmith paperwork, outer box.
Not Included: Headshell, inner box (will be packed
very securely).
Asking $300, which is less than the retip cost. At my price I pay USPS Priority insured shipping to CONUS. If PayPal friends / family not used please add 3%
Buy with confidence, I have been transacting used audio for over 20 yrs and have impeccable feedback on all the usual sites.
I am also selling my Jelco 750E 10 inch tonearm. Please see my other ad. If interested in both I can make a nice package price. The combo is well known in the vinyl world to be a very synergistic pairing.
This combo is now setup on my Scheu Premiere Mk2 table, serious local buyers are welcome to audition (zip 11561).
Thanks for looking.
