Going to let this one go as well, I've collected too many carts over the last few years and have realised they are nice to have but a little pointless if not being used. This is a really good cart, easily holding it's own against higher end Koetsu's, Lyras. I bought it ex-demo from Elite Audio in Feb '23, then have put 120-150 hours on it.

Immaculate and probably not even fully broken in, RRP on these is £4995. Asking £1500, welcome to collect from Notts or I can post it's very well packaged.
