Ortofon Kontrapunkt B Cartridge

[Miller]

Excellent condition cartridge which came from a Linn owner who put less than 100 hours on it and I have done less than 10 being as I have too many cartridges.
Someone may as well enjoy it especially as they are getting harder to find nowadays though I will probably regret it.... £450.00 + postage Royal Mail signed delivery.

For those who do not know for many years this cart was Noel Keywood's (HiFi World Editor) reference and also a firm favourite of Tim de Paravicini.

Absolutely stonking cartridge. I love mine, the best cartridge I've ever owned. Does everything to a reference level and wouldn't be shamed on even the most exotic turntable.
Enjoy

I actually have Noel’s old Kontrapunkt b and loved it until the diamond parted company with the cantilever.

Need to get it re-tipped but the two companies I have approached so far have said no... :(

Expert Stylus should also be able to do the repair no problem.... Always been happy with Wyndham's work....

You can send it back to Ortofon for a full rebuild to original spec for €870.
You cant better than an Ortofon rebuild, unless you want to change the stylus shape.

Kilian Bakker used to work for Ortofon, I'm led to believe.

Have him refurb it and put a Fritz Gyger S on the end of it, you'll be grinning like a Cheshire cat, once properly set up and you hear it, it's amazing and I was also very surprised at the cost.

Lets just say a lot less than the 870euro quoted above that Ortofon are asking - I know what I'd do, having gone that route already - no hesitation.

Ortofon rebuild any time of the day for me , basically you're getting brand new cartridge in old body with warranty and fully tested .
Kilian is good but he can only replace stylus , clean coils if there is no damage due to debris getting there and reset suspension , tie wire - I believe full re-built is no longer an option as some parts are not available to him.

No hesitation, send it too:
Killian is your man,

I've heard his work on a Kontrapunkt B and on a Ortofon Vienna.

If I had the funds, I'd have bought this and sent it to him!
