    Default 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
    Works very well on old SME 3009 (non-improved) arm, or any 'normal' medium weight tonearm, for that matter.

    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.

    £170 collected from near M1-M6 junction. £180 UK delivered via RMSD
