Townshend Elite EEI-700 PARABOLIC (Boron/Shibata Stylus) Cartridge Personally owned item from new, which has played just 150 LP records, so circa 130 hours playing time. Excellent overall condition as to be expected, with stylus (cantilever and diamond tip) in pristine condition. Continuity check of each channel confirms correct internal resistance and of excellent balance. Although some years since in use, has been stored in optimal conditions, ie. moderated temperature and air/light free containment. As a moving magnet cartridge of medium weight (6.0g), medium output (3.5 mV) and medium compliance (10 cu) it will match excellently with any good quality vinyl playback system. The EEI 700 Parabolic is Townshend Audios finest achievement in their quest for a genuinely superior quality stereo cartridge and is renowned for producing superb sound quality and excellent tracking performance. Stylus assembly is state-of-art and utilises a micro-nude, Shibata (Parabolic), natural diamond needle that is mounted directly to a Boron cantilever. This endows both ultra-low tip mass and incredibly high stiffness to this critical part of the cartridge. EEI states the stylus assembly has been designed and manufactured with great precision and care to ensure your complete satisfaction and enjoyment - duly providing a detailed user Instruction as well as an information sheet to get the best from your Parabolic stylus Notably, but not declared in the cartridges specification data, the magnetic pole pieces are laminated to provide enhanced linearity of upper frequency response thereby realizing wider and superior frequency response together with significantly reduced distortion. Please note, original spec. replacement stylus remain available from a number of UK online suppliers, which is a very much a plus.

? Pioneer PC-Q1 Cartridge w/ NOS After-Market PN-Q1 Shibata Stylus - D This listing is for one used Pioneer PC-Q1 cartridge. The cartridge was “checked” with an Ohmmeter & the results are posted in two of the photos. The readings are very close & have a difference of less than 0.25%. The stylus is a NOS, Special T brand “replacement” for the Pioneer PN-Q1. It has a Shibata tip & the tracking force is approximately 1 ~ 2 grams. Since the cartridge was “checked” with an Ohmmeter, the stylus is NOS & this combination has been visually checked, there are NO returns or refunds. This item will require an adults’ signature for delivery. All of the cartridge/stylus combinations I sell are sold AS IS - in working condition. I do not offer ANY type of refund, exchange, or return on these cartridge/stylus combinations. If you have an issue with sibilance, it probably means that the cartridge/stylus is not a good match for your tonearm. Not that there is anything defective with this cartridge or stylus. Note: The cantilever (the thin silver tube which the stylus tip is mounted to) is the fragile part of the stylus assembly. The stylus needs to be handled carefully. If the buyer breaks or bends the cantilever when un-packaging, inserting the stylus assembly into the cartridge, or handling the cartridge once the stylus is mounted, I will not be held responsible. This includes while mounting the cartridge to your headshell. It is best to mount your cartridge somewhat loosely first. Then install the stylus. Once the stylus is mounted into the cartridge, adjust the cartridge for the correct overhang for your particular turntable. If you are unfamiliar or inexperienced with installing, mounting, & adjusting cartridges/styli, please have an experienced professional do the installation for you.
