Up for sale is this ADC ST XLM II phono cartridge.
The ADC ST XLM II came from the factory premounted to a carbon fiber headshell designed for ADC low mass tonearms of the time period. The cartridge may be disassembled from the carbon fiber headshell and then used on another tonearm/headshell of your choice. Although it must be said that this cartridge works best on a low mass tonearm. Figure an effective mass of 10g as maximum. Lower effective mass works better on this cartridge. I used it on an Infinity Black Widown tonearm which has an effective mass of 3 grams. It tracked well and sounded quite good on that arm. History. I purchased this as NOS in its' still sealed container 5 years ago. Since that time I have not put that many hours on it. Instead of playing it all the time I tried a few different cartridges on that BW tonearm and reviewed them all. My purpose being to make comparisons between the different cartridges I tried on that tonearm. At this point there will be far fewer than 200 hours on the cartridge in this ad. Not that I measured the hours, just my shot from the hip estimate. It has many many hours of life left. To purchase contact me via asylum email. -Steve
