If you are familiar with the Grado Signature line of cartridges, then you know that this XTZ was the top model in that line. I recently purchased a vintage turntable that this came on. The table looked like it had rarely been used, so I am confident in saying the stylus has low hours on it. I testing it and it is a fabulous cartridge. It even had the factory tonearm decoupler that was included with the Signature line. Its a little aluminum triangle with dimples that the manual was adamant that you used. That will be included with this cart purchase. Unfortunately, both of my current setups use moving coils carts with phono stages that are dialed in for them. So its quite a fuss to swap them out and reset all the phono stages for an occasional listen with this XTZ. So I decided to part with it. It will be packaged safely and securely and insured. Im a bit unsure of the current market value for these so this will be an auction. Good luck! UPDATE: I had someone message me that was concerned about the authenticity of this item so I wanted to do my best to address it. First, in the first picture the little painted dimples that typically denote the stylus type for Grado carts look like they may be silver. The dimples on this stylus are black, and any silver is shine from the smooth plastic. I added another picture making sure to orient the dimples in a way that you can see they are black. Also the numbers H86 were found on the body. Secondly, the kind officer from the Grado Police also suggested that because the dimples were assumed to be silver, that the XTZ writing was sloppily placed by a person who did not work at Grado. While I can understand how one assumption would drive the other, I am very confident as to the authenticity of the model of this cartridge. I purchased a Conrad Johnson Sonographe SG-3 from the estate of a deceased audiophile and this cartridge was mounted on it. This table/cart combo may have been his jumping off point as his collection contained high end audio items from the 80s and 90s and this was one of the cheapest items for sale. It was clearly a setup that had been placed in a closet and out of rotation as the other tables were far higher end. The collection was well exceeding $100K in todays value. The other carts were 5-10 times the cost and nearly every cable exceeded the cost by at least double. It would be safe to say that someone who was this heavily invested in high end audio would have purchased from reputable sources and that this XTZ is what it claims to be. That said, if you question the authenticity of this item, please dont bid.

Brand new pair of RS2X, free UK shipping. They come with the standard connector, standard L cushions. Box unsealed to take photos. A nimble yet unwavering headphone, the redesigned RS2x explores new territory for the Reference Series by marrying maple with hemp wood. Maple, Meet Hemp A family favorite, the RS2x has been completely redesigned to bring out the full potential of its Maple and Hemp wood. The housing’s sleeve and ring are made from Maple, while a Hemp core keeps everything together. We build with wood for its warm and embracing tonal abilities, and the RS2x is an exceptional evolution to the RS2 line. Signature Sound Discovering new pieces in songs heard hundreds of times is what we’re here for. The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. With harmonic colors and a world renowned mid-range, the RS2x immediately draws you in. The sound the woods produce, when combined with our special processes, are full-bodied with a rich vocality. X Series Drivers 4th generation X Drivers are here. Specifically tuned for the RS2x wood housing, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our 44mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music. New Cable & Headbands Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the RS2x. Housed in a more durable exterior, the now super annealed copper 8-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent. Hand Assembled in Brooklyn Founded on a kitchen table in 1953, and working with wood for over a quarter century, Grado Labs has been perfecting the art of sonic reproduction every day since. This RS2x has traveled from workbench to workbench until ready for your ears. Every experience since that kitchen table has led to the creation of the RS2x.
