    I have the Carmen, which is the next in the range. I think it's a fabulous cartridge, smooth, detailed and really easy to listen to. If this is anywhere near the Carmen, it's a proper bargain. I believe that Soundsmith will re-tip any cartridge of theirs for about 20% of the retail price, regardless of whether you're the first owner or not. Surely something to consider?

    All the best with the sale mate...
