Fast and Free Delivery Trusted Brands 60 Day Returns Great Feedback Product Description Ortofon VM (Vinyl Master Series) Alpha Cartridge. Purchased from Germany with an upgraded Thorens TD160 Turntable but never taken out of the box as I had an Ortofon 2M Black at home waiting for it. These are essentially 2Ms marketed under the VM name specifically for the European market so not so well known in the UK but are made to Ortofons usual high standards. These cartridges are acclaimed for their synergy with SME arms such as the 3009 series. Never used Brand New Item. It comes in sealed plastic box - see pic 2 of actual item. Ortofon VM Vinyl Master Alpha - MM System - Particularly suitable for the SME 3009 tonearm - Fully-fledged pickup that harmonises with almost every tonearm - even and neutral tonal basic character - Identical to Vinyl Master White - New and original goods in a neutral Plexiglas packaging.

However, grading is ultimately subjective and despite being very strict, we may not always please everyone. Please do not leave negative feedback if you are not fully satisfied. We offer a full No Quibble Return, Swap or Refund and we are here to help. In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, cassettes and CDs. Anyone buying or selling records through the magazine must use our conditions to state what amount of wear and tear the disc, its sleeve and/or contents have been subject to. The seven standard condition categories, and a description of what each one means, are listed below: MINT (M) : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
