    Will do Martin.

    If anyone else is interested it's worth by-passing ebay and looking at Thakker's German site https://www.thakker.eu/en/cartridges/ £424 plus a few Euros for DHL.

    Best price I could find and not having had much luck with expensive carts in the past I reckon the price point is around where I'd like to be when buying on reviews and specs only. Always a dangerous game.

    For a good price on a Nagaoka MP500 you might try contacting mellstock on the Wam. It's a lovely cart.

    Even Audiokazu in Japan (who has a strong reputation) was £411 plus a few uncertainties like Import Duty, VAT, Postage etc.

    I know UK dealers have to make a profit (nothing wrong with that) but £620 to £680 which is the generally quoted price seems a bit rich.

    Controversial subject I guess.
