For Sale: Music Maker lll Cartridge by The Cartridgeman

[Infinitely Baffled]

For sale is my Music Maker lll, a well-known high-performance variable reluctance phono cartridge made by Len Gregory, "The Cartridgeman". It is described as a "moving iron cartridge" and it displays outstanding measured operating characteristics: Output voltage: 4mV, Frequency response: 10Hz - 50KHz, Stereo separation:>25dB across 10Hz to 30KHz range, Loading requirement: 47K Ohm (which is the same as a standard moving magnet cartridge). It is a very high end non-MC device: Googling it will quickly show you how well thought of it is. The last time Len's website quoted a price for this cartridge, I believe it was between £700-800. Now it is being sold "POA". This has been my go-to cartridge for many years, but unfortunately it does not seem to want to work well with my new arm - an SME M2-9, so I have decided to sell it. It arrived back yesterday from The Expert Stylus Company, cleaned and re-tipped by them with a brand-new Paratrace stylus - it has zero playing hours on it. This is in effect a new, unplayed Music Maker lll. I am asking £425 plus delivery costs.
