If you’re finding your vinyl a bit tizzy, bright or fatiguing this will be a revelation. I found it to be a big step up in naturalness and timbre from Audio Technica cartridges.

I thought I might have been the only one that thought AT cartridges were a bit......thin?

Tempted, but how accurate is the estimated usage?

[JohnJo]

Hi Mike, I don’t keep an accurate record every time I play a side etc. but when I took it off the deck I had a good think how much I felt I had used it and reckoned 100 hrs or more but no more than 150 so I’ve said 150. I got it on 30th January this year and took it off mid May so was only on the deck for about 14 or 15 weeks and I use Tidal and CDs as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks John, I'll think on it.

Would be interested in a DC blocker in exchange/part exchange if that helps.
