Many thanks to Tom (montesquieu) for the sale of his Ikeda 9C III cartridge. I've been wanting to listen to one of these (a fascinating combination of an MC cartridge with a Decca-like lack of a cantilever) for a long time now. It could well be the final cartridge in my system.

Superbly well packed and promptly delivered, it arrived today.

Again many thanks
