FS Miyajima Shilabe Cartridge

[farflungstar]

I'll accept €1,500 rather than £1,500 for this fantastic piece of handmade Japanese art. The RRP is around €3,200 depending where and from whom.

It's in flawless cosmetic and technical condition with a pristine diamond.

If necessary I'll try and take some pics of the tip but my phone camera ain't that great.

You simply will not get better at this price.

Come on guys - a cart with that magical Koetsu midrange but with balls in the bottom end and a finesse and extension in the top that the Koetsu just doesn't have, at a silly price.

He's not wrong

Price drop. €1,200 - if it helps I'll accept €600 this month and €600 next month - will of course ship with final payment. PM me.

Sold STP.

Hi,
I own the unipivot version of the Siggwan, which IIRC has 15 g effective mass. How do you obtain 22 g effective mass?
Good luck with sale,
Harvey

Hi - the gimballed version is 14g and I had Steve at Magna make me a couple of brass saddles for the arm which raised it to 20g.

Hi Adrian,
Thank you for your reply and congrats on sale -- to you and lucky buyer! How -- or where -- do the brass saddles fit onto the tonearm? Are they fixed in position, or are they intended to slide forward towards head shell or back towards the pivot?

They could be placed anywhere but for maximum effect at the headshell. I had them made in brass. I've now gone back to my Allaerts which is happy on 14g which is a pity as they looked lovely on the arm.
