Ladies and gentlemen,
For sale is my low-hours, minty-mint, boxed as new Denon DL-S1. It should go to a good home because, as I'm streaming more of my music now, digitally, I'm playing less vinyl these days than I used to.
Those of you who heard me demonstrate this cartridge, on my turntable, at one of the NEBO events, or have heard or used one themselves, know how special it, and every other one of its type sounds, possessing the richness and 'soul' of a DL-103, but with the sweetness, sparkle and (quite frankly) staggering wide-open resolution and filigree detailing, produced only by the very best high-end moving coils.
Make no mistake, this is a £3k low-output MC cartridge in ALL but price, and crucially, rarely come up for sale in this condition. Those of you who know me, will know that every piece of equipment I own is treated with the greatest of care, so whoever is lucky enough to become the new owner of this superb cartridge, should be rest assured that it plays beautifully and that the stylus and cantilever are in perfect condition.
As you will see from the pictures below, it comes with all of its original packaging, which is as good as the day I received it, and as an added incentive (if indeed any were needed), I'm including in the sale a set of Dynavector 6N headshell leads, which themselves are worth £35. These match superbly well, sonically, with the DL-S1.
If you can find a brand new one for sale, you can expect to pay upwards of £950.00. However, as ever when I sell things on here, I offer them at an attractive price for AoS members, to allow someone lucky to pick up a genuine BARGAIN. Therefore, I'm asking for £620.00 DELIVERED to any mainland UK address. Shipping abroad is welcome, but will be subject to an extra charge, and advised to the buyer at the point of sale.
Interested parties should either reply here or via PM. But HURRY, because I'm not expecting this one to hang around for long!! Requests for purchase will be treated strictly on a first come, first served basis, so whoever posts here or PMs me FIRST, expressing their interest to purchase, gets it.

GOOD LUCK, and prepare to rediscover your record collection!!
Marco.
