FS: my slightly used Ortofon A95 cartridge, serial number 229. I am the original owner. I purchased the cartridge in May 2017. I have logged only 150 hours on it as I moved in 2018 and was out of the country for much of this year. The cartridge has been scrupulously set up and cared for, and has made music only from pre-cleaned (and mostly new) records). See pictures below. Grading a conservative 8/10 due mostly to age and not use.I include shipping, insurance and any Paypal fees if my asking price is met. Retail price is $6500. I am asking $2775. Check out my feedback on Audiogon under “simes.” Thanks for looking. Ortofon MC A95 Technical data
