[FS] Ortofon Kontrapunkt b - Moving Coil Cartridge

[Bigman80]

Hi all,

I have for sale my backup cartridge, a Ortofon Kontrapunkt b.

This cart has recently been to Needlestein/Groovetickler in the U.S for a full condition check, which came back with a clean bill of health. I have remounted the cart to give it a once over here, and it sounds exactly how i expect a Kontrapunkt b to sound!

The cartridge is straight and true, and available for demo in this system. I will not accept a return on the cartridge if you buy it without hearing it first.

I have the full packaging and will post to withstand a nuke!

I will post this on eBay as soon as i get an 80% off seller fees offer.

Price: £500 inc RMND postage in the UK

Absolutely stunning cartridge, the best cartridge I've ever owned. I'd but this myself if I had the spare dosh. New owner will be a very happy chappy.

Same here, I’d love it… many other expenses right now unfortunately.

Tease!

 

[Vince Parkin]

I for one, think you have made the sensible decision. If it were mine, I wouldn't be selling it.

Is this now on the Bay of E?

Yes it is

Tease!

The cart I was looking at became unavailable, but I am now guaranteed it's availablity should I raise the funds for it, so this back up for sale and also on the auction site.

Cool looking unit, isn’t it.

Very. The aesthetic has always been very pleasing to me. I like the Ortofon look and sound.

Got to agree, it's a great cart. I've got a backup one already

Is the B the top of that range?

 

[Bigman80]

Is the B the top of that range?

There was an A, a B and the very rare C.

The B, I believe, was the most popular of the three.

In terms of spec, the B was the highest IIRC.

 

[Vince Parkin]

The B has a Ruby cantilever, and this I believe makes it the best sounding of the 3.

There was also an h:

I think the b was the one that sold, the conical aluminium cantilever on the c sounds interesting, not i've not heard anything other than the b.
