REDUCED TO $335 *** FREE SHIPPING, NO PAYPAL FEES. Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood Cartridge - moving magnet - with less than 60 hours. This is Version One V1, Ebony Wood, not the V2 Version 2. I bought it from Raul Iruegas in Mexico City. Raul is well known on Audiogon and was once a prolific forum contributor. He had SoundSmith re-tip the cartridge when it was ten hours new. See excerpt from his email to me about this.

I send it just after the first 10 hours of use ( I don't send it because it was defective but because I want it a better stylus. ) and when I did it he told me that the original stylus used on the Virtuoso models was a low quality stylus. The review came from the Virtuoso with the SoundSmith high quality stylus. No, it does not have 60-70 hours on it but has 30 hours. My Virtuoso is in great shape and with great quality performance level. Kind regards,
R. Sorry I did not post a picture of the cartridge but you have my assurance it is in mint condition with very very low hours. It sounds wonderful and better than its original from the factory. Comes with the nylon screws and screwdriver. I don't think the inside protective cardboard is all original but it does the job of keeping it safe. I have added tape in a couple spots
to add security and prevent the inside container as well as the cartridge from moving around. Price $335 PayPal only but no fees to buyer. Free shipping. See my feedback on Audiogon as dougolsen, on ebay as about-2, on fredmiranda.com as about2. 100% positive feedback ... you can buy with confidence
