FS: Allaerts MC1 Boron, excellent physical and operational condition. The cantilever is straight and true and channel balance is excellent. the former owner was meticulous and documented every hour of play (244). I added less than 6 hrs which puts it at 250. Build date is late 2007 and was checked out by Jan since then.

SOLD!

Rob-Since you put less than 6 hours on the cartridge, I'm guessing you don't like it.

it doesnt like my arm. you cant adjust overhang with the WTT amadeus, that and the allaerts 10g of heft are better suited for a different arm. me thinks it would sound killer w/ the Ikeda or 12" SME ;)
