Hi all, I have for sale my backup cartridge, a Ortofon Kontrapunkt b. This cart has recently been to Needlestein/Groovetickler in the U.S for a full condition check, which came back with a clean bill of health. I have remounted the cart to give it a once over here, and it sounds exactly how i expect a Kontrapunkt b to sound! The cartridge is straight and true, and available for demo in this system. I will not accept a return on the cartridge if you buy it without hearing it first. I have the full packaging and will post to withstand a nuke! I will post this on eBay as soon as i get an 80% off seller fees offer. Price: £500 inc RMND postage in the UK

Totally sympathise Oli, I have the same problem with dac's currently have a W521 playing in the lab after some structural re arranging, given it's only has 23 hours on the bores so to speak it has dispatched one highly regarded 16K unit and sriously harassing a well known 30K+ unit at its own game, although it's killing it in musical involvement and grrove stakes and thats with a Toshiba HD player as transaport.
Some decisions are best placed on the shelf for another time.
