For sale, low hours VdH MC One Special.
Bought new last year, but hardly used, it has only played 76 sides, so less than 30 hours of use. When ordered from VdH, this particular cartridge was specified by Definitive Audio for use with modern SME arms, so it has a highish compliance (for a MC) compatible with arms having an effective mass from 8 to 14 grams, thus suiting light to medium mass tonearms. Output is a healthy 0.75 mV, and it tracks perfectly at 1.4 grams, requiring about only half that value when setting biasing. I had excellent results on a SME V, using a 20dB (10x) SUT, where the presentation was dynamic and quick, with a good dose of 'heft', but still having a good, realistic tone/timbre. New, this costs around £1350, I am offering it for sale at £850 incl. UK delivery.
