Dynavector XX-2 MK II low output MC Interest check
Didn't even think of moving this on, as it's simply a fantastic cartridge.
read the reviews, it's basically the sweet spot in the DV range, With price & performance.
Benefits of the flux damper and features the Alinco-5 magnet.
But I have the chance of an Ortofon Royal N Cartridge and fancy a new flavour..
as I already have vintage Ortofon SPUs and like what they do with my set up, the Royal N seems a logical move. Although a different beast to the Vintage SPU.
Anyway, Unfortunately I do not have the financial means to keep £1295 worth of cartridge in
a draw and do not want to see it unused.
Ironically, I just had this return from being retipped at ESco. last week, It has literally played 5 records since it's return and sounds just STUNNING. So effectively, this is as new as can be. Ive always run this at 1.8g as DV's spec, ESco advises to run it lighter at 1.4g, sounds great at both TBH, tracks like a train!
Specs are in the link below

As I said this is an interest check at the moment as I haven't got the Royal N here yet, which is imminent.
I was thinking say £650 recorded RM delivered. rrp is £1295 and the service check and retip is £330
sorry pictures from my phone are a bit shite.
Cheers
