A J Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Item: Koetsu Black Location: Perth 6010 Price: 1150 Item Condition: As described below Reason for selling: Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I bought this recently from Famo - I used it for about 4 albums but my turntable is not really up to this so letting it go - so total hours probably 4 - here is what the original ad said and also a link here: "Original sugano Koetsu Black. Recently been retipped and serviced by AJ van den Hul including the installation of a boron cantilever and a VDH Type 1 stylus. Cartridge has had less than an hour of total play time. . Absolutely incredible, dynamic, accurate, musical cartridge. Reason for selling is I upgraded to a VDH Crimson Stradivarius which is ever so slightly better. Really hard to put a price on this. The cheapest I’ve seen on Audiogon is $1000 pounds which works out to be 1800 aus. That was for a used model refilled by a lesser known cartridge repairer. Looking for a quick sale so I’d let this go for $1150 which is not a lot more than it cost me for the rebuild. Anyone in the market for a seriously high end cartridge on a budget look no further." I will be in Sydney CBD the week of Christmas (22-26 Dec) otherwise here or I can post AJ Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Sure - I have a PLX-1000 - I'm not sure (although I didn't have it professionally setup) that I had the tracking right. This is a known sensitivity of these cartridges. I'm now looking at simplifying my setup given the room it's in will never allow a sound system to bloom so I think I'm going back to my DIY Phono stage which is setup for MM - I use a 2M Black, so potentially will be selling my MC carts along with the Goldnote PH-10 possibly. I'm consolidating - my wife reckons I've got to much stuff and I think I have to agree. Edited December 15, 2019 by A J
