FS: Nagaoka MP-30 mm cartridge

[jandl100]

I bought this on eBay not long ago, and have been using it as well as my DV10X5 MC cart ..... I've been humming & hahing for a while over which I preferred.

Ultimately, I think I'm just a MC kind of guy!

So this lovely little Naggie is up for sale.

I have the stylus guard, but not the original box.

It tracks really nicely and sounds solid and musical, in the mm way.

I paid £80 plus delivery - so that's what I'm asking.

That was a BIN eBay sale - I rather suspect it would have gone for more if it had been on auction.

Here's a couple of pics - the close up of the stylus is taken from the eBay auction and was said to be of the actual item.

Jerry - you have a PM.

[jandl100]

8 minutes. Ye gods!

OK - Alex - PM on its way.

I kicked myself for not getting to it before you when it was on eBay so I'm not going to miss out on it a second time!

Yep - I saw it on eBay for £80 or Best Offer ... and some twerps (sorry if that was you! ) had made offers. £80 seemed more than fair to me ... so I just clicked the BIN button! Some NOS ones were (and probably still are) on sale on eBay for £399!

As expected, Alex is as quick with payment as he is with saying he would like to buy it!

Thanks Alex.

I am a twerp, but I didn't make an offer!!! I think I only found out about it after you had bought it - I have a regular eBay search and email notification for tons of things including Nagaoka, but I think by the time I found it you'd already snapped it up. Still, all's well that ends well - you've had a chance to play and now I join the illustrious list of jandl100 customers!!!

Damn you to hell Alex, i've been upstairs listening to records since about 10am and i've just noticed this thread when i've come down for a bite to eat. You've got a real bargain there mate, you'll have to let me know how it stacks up against the MP15.

Easy fella!

Yep, just happened to be on at the right time, and knew if I snooze I lose... I absolutely love the MP-15 so hopefully the MP-30 will be more of the same - I think the boron cantilever on the 30 is a big plus. You can have first dibs on it if I don't like it Mike - alternatively I will of course rub your nose in it and tell you how amazing it is if I love it!

Well done mate

These do like low mass arms, so if you get the chance to buy an SME shell for not too silly money, this would work well (using the gunk between cart and shell too).
