Ed Saunders styli are made in Switzerland and are hand fitted to the cantilever using a shadowgraph, rather than machine fitted as is done for the replacement styli made for Shure in Mexico. http://www.edsaunders.com/shurestylus.htm.

I have not included a close-up photo of the stylus, simply because the stylus is mint and unused, so such a photograph is unnecessary

I do not have the original packing, but the cartridge will be carefully and securely packed.

Asking £30 , delivered.

I had an M75 ED T2 cart and it saw me through 20 years of musical enjoyment. I made a stupid mistake and bought a P77, that brought near on 20 years of CD playback. So, IMHO a bit of a sonic bargain on offer here. Easy to accommodate, good tracker, sounds alive. For £30?

I've got one of these with a Jico SAS on it and it sounds great.
It seems to fit really well with a Thorens 150.
