I didnt have time to complete the listing before there were bids. That was my bad, but also noting ebay doesnt allow revisions beyond tiny-print addendums once bidding begins. Anyway... This listing is for two GRADO Prestige Gold1 Gold 1 moving iron / moving magnet (MM) phono cartridges. These two phono cartridges, as with the tonearms and turntables Ive listed during the past month or so, belonged to a friends late husband. My friend has entrusted me with the sale of her husbands audio components. In addition to these two phono cartridges, Ill be listing a few more phono cartridges and an Adcom preamp within the next couple of weeks. Please keep an eye on my forthcoming auctions for related items. Back to the Grado Prestige Gold One phono cartridges... RE photos: Note that I used a fine ink marker to make the tiny dots clearly visible on the cartridges bodies: The single dot denotes the new (or new old stock cartridge), whereas the double dot denotes the used cartridge. I wanted to keep each stylus assembly + cartridge body straight while taking photos under a microscope. Im not an expert when it comes to examining stylii under magnification, but the images clearly reveal one stylus is unused and the second is used. Please view all photos carefully, as they are clearer than my writing. Below are details and specifications that I found online (the paragraph in quotes is from a review): As in virtually all Grado cartridges, the careful application of various damping materials is evident in the Prestige Gold1. A black, tarry substance is sparingly applied to the stylus housing and the gap into which its snugged--which has the additional benefit of preventing the stylus housing from snapping free of the body too abruptly during removal. And the multipiece alloy cantilever is treated with an apparently harder black coating of its own, to prevent unwanted resonances from setting up along its surface. The stylus itself is an elliptical diamond, and a tracking force of 1.5gm is recommended. Manufacturers Specifications: Description: Moving-iron phono cartridge. Stylus: elliptical diamond. Frequency range: 20Hz–60kHz. Output: 5mV. Compliance: 20cu. Channel separation: >35dB (1kHz). Internal resistance: 475 ohms. Recommended load: 47k ohms. Recommended downforce: 1.5gm. Im batting 100% positive feedback after nearly two decades of buying and selling on eBay. I kindly leave positive feedback for those who do the same. Some recent feedback (as a seller) includes: Possibly the best seller on eBay Ive dealt with. Highly recommended. / An extremely helpful seller! Thank you for everything. / Great seller! An expert in sound measurement. Very responsive to questions. Prior to my current username, I had over 2000 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive feedback (Ive changed my username once or twice over the many years). I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end auctions early. Item will be sold to the high bidder (heck, a single bidder might get a fantastic deal). My auctions are old-fashioned auctions--the way they ought to be. Payments must be received within 72 hours after end of auction. Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed. No returns (buyers remorse shouldnt be the sellers responsibility--see * below). Nothing in this listing is misleading. Photos are an integral part of the description: View all photos carefully. If something isnt clear, write before you bid. I pack items with great care--the same way Id like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Like other sellers, I do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Large parcels will be shipped via UPS Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither eBay nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no prime or overnight shipping. *Heres why I no longer accept returns: Too many bidders with buyers remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a return. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because these buyers did not know how to properly use it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they caused. Bottom line: NO MORE RETURNS! If the wrong item is shipped (I have yet to do this), I will promptly exchange the item and pay for shipping to-and-from the buyer. Please understand what youre buying is USED (unless its clearly stated as new). RE electronics equipment: I encourage all viewers to compare my listings to other sellers listings and photos: If a printed circuit board is on anything other than an ESD mat, then the seller doesnt know how to exercise appropriate ESD precautions. Many electronic devices are easily compromised or destroyed due to improper handling. I use appropriate ESD protection measures when handling static-sensitive equipment. Items that are ESD sensitive will be shipped in anti-static wrapping.
