FS - ZYX R50 Bloom cart

[julesd68]

This low-output moving coil cart is a modern classic, renowned the world over for it's big, expansive sounstage.

You'll find many glowing reviews from users and hi-fi press alike on Google.

Bought only last week from "esperowl" on AOS, it hasn't gelled with my TT / tonearm and so I would like to move it on.

It is in immaculate condition and has only done approx 250 hours. As you can see, it comes with all of the original packing and tools, including a fetching polka-dot drawstring bag! I will also send the instruction manual.

Asking £260 Paypal gift or cash on collection from Highgate, North London. This includes FREE DELIVERY in the UK by Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured.

Ah, you beat me to that one while I was thinking about it. I've since snagged a 2M Black otherwise I would have had it.
Gets good reviews, good buy for someone.....

Love your Avatar dude!

How is the 2M Black bearing up?? :eyebrows:
As good as its rep?

[rusty bearing]

Why thank you!:D

As to the 2M I'm picking it up tomorrow evening, whether I'll get a chance to fit and listen to it before the weekend I don't know, certainly going to try.
I'll let you know how it sounds, had the 2M Blue before so I can make a fair comparison.:)

I bought his 2M Blue and i had a red before that so can compare those two. To be honest I didn't rate the red.
