This looks like an interesting cartridge on eBay HK:

Bet that, used on the right arm, would be a potential giant-killer!

Might keep an eye on that - thanks for the heads-up Marco!
I've been after one for ages to go on my Biotracer PSB-80 but they seem rare and expensive over here - the last one I watched went for the wrong side of £500.
Edit - just noticed auction is in US dollars, not HK ones, so it's starting at around £550! Oh well....

Lol... No doubt it would be a real cracker of a cartridge though, and outperform some seriously high-end stuff made today. All my instincts are telling me that (and they don't often let me down), so I guess it's just how much moolah you're willing to pay!
In my view, if it could be bought for less than $1200, sonically, it would be a bargain.

Maybe but what's that - about £750?
Frankly, I could think of far better ways of spending that on vinyl related items!

Oh yeah, sure. For me, however, if I can buy a cartridge for £750 that performs like one at £2k, which I suspect is the case with the Sony, then it's a bargain.
However, your idea of a bargain I suspect might be somewhat different!

As clearly stated in the listing, the recommended price is AU$199.99, but the asking price is AU$1000. So he is not hiding anything. He just wants a 500% mark up.Originally Posted by southall-1998
