My friend used to work for Mark Levinson in Connecticut, and he got this rare Cello Moving Coil Cartridge made for Levinson by Haruo Takeda who made the well regarded Miyabi cartridges. My friend, the one who used to work for Mark Levinson, whom I trust fully has stated that there is at most 10 hours on this cartridge. I set it up and it tracked perfectly at 2 grams. I am selling this on my friend's behalf. He is getting older and needs the money and this was just sitting around not being used. What I could find about it is shown below.

You know...buying cool things you don't really need just because they are cool . Like exotic cartridges for example...I am struggling not to buy this as I am sure Mr Dragon is as well...

This one is very very interesting!

Just wanted to thank Jonas for such a painless transaction for such a wonderful cartridge. I've never seen quite so big a box for a little cart, quintuple-packed for safe arrival! Good trader alert. (And hello all, its been awhile. I hope you're well.)
