View Full Version : Audio Note IQ1 cartridge
This is a AN IQ1 mm cartridge, which was bought as a back-up and has had very little use (certainly less than 100 hours, most likely around 50). Comes with all packaging, etc. Retailed for £340 in 2017, selling for £180 (including insured delivery in UK).

Better than a Goldring 1042 ime, I also prefer this to an IQ3 I had a few years back ... although I'm probably in a minority with that :D
Works very well on old SME 3009 (non-improved) arm, or any 'normal' medium weight tonearm, for that matter.
Still available ... top quality mm cartridge.

If I didn't have the Cartridge Man Music Master cartridge, I'd have nabbed this wonderful cartridge,
at £180 is a no brainer.
Someone is in for a total treat!
Looks like a Goldring, but it ain't.

Finer coil wires give better dynamic response. Slightly stiffer dampers give lower compliance to better suit 'normal' mid/high effective mass arms. Screw inserts allow easier and more secure mounting.

Very nice cartridge ... not as fussy as a 2M Black ime.

Just thinking the same. Having owned many too many good quality MM carts including the very similar IQ2, this is a top notch MM. If you find carts such as Audio Technica a bit neutral and not vinyl enough, this is the cart for you. It gives the rich sound without over egging as some do (e.g. Nagaoka). Buts its key attribute is rhythm, it boogies.
It can also be upgraded to IQ 2 or 3
I’ll take it off you if it is still available?
