    I tend to start with a VTF of 0.25g below the maximum recommended value, and work down from there. You will cause more damage to a record by under-tracking than by over-tracking.

    Get straight onto eBay and complain they usually side with the buyer.

    Get on to eBay as Rexton said. I had a Shure M75 variant. nOS stylus etc. Sounded dull and lifeless. You might have dodged a bullet there. Acutex 410e on eBay. They are a very good value cartridge. It was only bettered by the ZYX R50 Bloom I bought. Bold claim, but true. I tried a Ortofon Vivo Red MC after the Acutex and that didn't cut it, i had a Shure V15 III and that was very good too but no better than the Acutex.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I've just had a look at the listing, and in particular under 'Conditions' it states:

    Used: An item that has been previously used. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or an item that has been returned to the seller after a period of use. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

    (my emphasis)

    Since the seller has not mentioned any imperfections, the item is not as described and your are entitled to a refund. But act promptly.

    First of all contact the seller and explain the situation, and if you don't receive satisfaction, then contact eBay.

    hi guys
    thanks for all the replies and advice once again,much appreciated
    the seller in question is one of us,loves his vinyl and hifi gear,ive been chatting to him via ebay messaging ever since winning the cartridge about everything hifi and music.
    he seems a nice guy so i have no reason to believe he was out to shaft me or anything like that,and i know times are hard etc but would any of us if it was in our nature to shaft someone do it for £8....i would certainly be aiming alot higher then that i think
    he quoted "little fingers" wrecked the stylus,so maybe more damage was done then first realised....i just dont know.
    anyhow ill see what response i get if any,i sent him a message this morning...just a shame i ordered a stylus for it already...more so now as peeps seem to reckon a shure v15 mk3 would be a major step up...then again i think i could be looking for along time to find one for the £8 i paid for my non working m75
    i think i need to focus on something to aim for rather then taking baby steps and going off at different angles ,trouble with that idea is...without hearing whats out there,how do i know what i want and will suit my ears and taste....god i need a drink

    as i said..one of us and a decent guy.
    heres part of the response to my message i sent him

    Let me know if you want to accept either of the 2 carts or a refund.
    The M75-6 wasa lower output cartridge with a slimmer bodyshell to fit into budget turntables to give a similar performance, musically, to the M75. The Empire 2000 has a great midrange performance .I am testing them both this evening as this message is on way to you.I cannot say how many hours life is left in the stylus from either cartridge, but would hazard a guess at half life approx 300hours left.
    kind regards

    s o whats the best to go for out of this offer guys m75-6 or a empire 2000?
    i assume the stylus ive ordered would still fit the 75-6? but if the empire 2000 has more potential then should i go with that...HELP!!
