Hi all,
I bought this a few days ago to satisfy my Decca curiosity and whilst I see the appeal, I find myself still missing the ZYX i sold. So, I now too am going to try and find a ZYX R100 or similar.
As've only had it a couple of days I am hoping to recoup 99% of the £459 I spent.
I can however, confirm that it works a treat and is excellent condition. I've had no issues with miss-tracking or setup.
Recently checked (October 27th) by J Wright and given a clean thumbs up. A nearly new line contact stylus too!
I'll offer the cart at £450 delivered
£440 collected
Would consider a swap for another cartridge of interest. Shelter carts are on the "interesting" list.

For consideration;
I've a Shelter 501 mk2 if you'd P/ex?
It's boxed and currently working fine, no idea of hrs (I got it 2nd hand) or value?

This was mine before Oliver bought it and it's a great cartridge, if I hadn't just bought a Zyx r100 AND a 2m Black I'd buy it back.
You won't be disappointed with it, I sold it at a loss only because I needed to fund the Zyx.
If you saw a closeup of the stylus you'd see it's pristine, and I'm sure the Line Contact Stylus upgrade is about £250-£300 on its own [emoji6]

This is a steal for one that's been checked, cleaned and recalibrated by John Wright only a few weeks ago.

Not the best time for many with Christmas around the corner. I am interested but have an unexpectedly big tax bill to pay end January. I would also have to factor in a pod as I've had experience of a gold mistracking in my arm. A Heath Robinson bodge of putty between the cart and headshell sorted it and revealed a very good cartridge.

It may be here when you're ready. [emoji3]

Hi I have a SPU a95 that I bought brand new from an Italian dealer. The retail is 2600 Euro, I bought (and am selling) at 1300. I can swap it out for the difference if you are interested. The SPU is hardly used as I don't have a TT, I used it for a compare at a friend's with a85 and when I went to listen to the PTP Lenco at another's. So apart from the playing time for approx. 2 hours in either system, it has had a couple of days warm up in the PTP owner's system.

Having a little listen. It's very organic in reproduction of the music. Works extremely well with the Valve phonostage. The heavier headshell is a must (14g)
