350 hours, perfectly cared and hard to find Blue Angel Mantis cartridge. It was my personal reference for about a year, second owner and a trully magnificent performer. It has the body and soul of wooden Koetsus but the speed and dynamics of early VdH and top of the line Clearaudios.

Comes with original wooden box, adaptors and all original packing material, I took great care to this cartridge, as for all the rest of my system components - dedicated room, no smoke/pets/kids/drunk friends whatsoever!

This cartridge will fly, trust me - grab it now! FedEx door to door shipping from my pocket....

List price >$4,500 usd (yes...this is the top of the line model, Black African Hardwood/Ruby canteliver)
Asking price: $1,950 usd

Thanks Jack, I sold it really fast - using those funds to get a new EMT cartridge for the 938 :)

Send mine and Jimmy's regards to Jules when you get the chance Flez. I hear his new cart is supposed to be REALLY good. His phono stage is spectacular.

I have heard that as well Jack - I will use my trusty Chord Symphonic MC preamp once I receive the EMT cable that by-passes the internal MM phono stage of the 938. I will post my findings for sure! :)
