[WTD] Low Hours MC cartridge

[carruthersesq]

I seem to have gubbed my Hana ML cartridge and need to replace it. I think I’ll replace it on the Hana exchange scheme saving £210 on a new one. But before I do I thought I’d put a speculative wanted ad here to see what’s out there.

needs to be of similar quality of the Hana and have low hours.

Always sad to hear of a cartridge getting gubbed. Best of luck

Thanks. I say I gubbed it, to be honest I have no idea who damaged it, no one in the house is volunteering that info.

I have a Dynavector XX Mk1 retipped by ESCO with 6 hours play time.

I have a Goldring Eroica LX low output, with a couple of days of use on it (Hifi Wigwam show on my P9) immaculate.
£250 + post.

Thanks guys. Will have a look at both.

Thanks but I’m looking for something of similar quality as the Hana ML, so in the £1k bracket.

I have a Koetsu Black Goldline that was retipped by Goldring with the same style tip. I bought it to replace a Hana ML and it was a definite step up, very similar attributes but more, if that makes sense.

216 hours since retip ( I use an app on my phone to record runtime)

Boxed - £635 inc postage.

Expert Stylus Co might be worth having a chat with. I believe their top spec option is £360 for refurb/repair.

Thanks guys. I’m in discussions regarding a cartridge and will update if I’m still in the market.
