It's a rare and rather exotic MC.

I've only ever seen two for sale (apart from mine:)). Until I got into ZYX's, the only cartridge that came close was the excellent and also rare Fidelity Research MC201 and even that was just marginally inferior. It totally blitzed the DL-103R I was also running!

I kept my EPC-305MC for twenty years, 'cos I couldn't find anything to beat it. It's very neutral and uncoloured and has a ruler flat response. Oh, and it's beautifully made.

By the way. I bought mine from a general consumer electronics and camera shop in Ealing. I spotted it at the back of a shelf gathering dust. I talked the guy behind the counter into giving me a good price. I thought £60 for a new, boxed and unopened (NOS) one wasn't bad going even back then! :D

Last one I saw for sale second hand had an asking price appoaching £500.

I've got a DL-160 surplus to requirements, which is in excellent shape, should you still fancy trying one :)
