Genuinely rare cartridge in this condition.
very low use (less than 50 hrs) boxed since new- Perfect function & clean
I will now state that the MC-2000 is the best-sounding moving-coil cartridge I have ever heard! The clincher, for me, was the way it reproduced the violins on Wilson Audio's Beethoven/Enescu (Enesco) disc and the Sheffield Strauss and Dvorak disc. The high end on these discs was as natural as I have ever heard—open, airy, delicate, and yet with the real bite of an actual fiddle. (They are two different kinds of fiddle: the Wilson Audio record has a warm, mellow Guarnerius, the other a classic Stradivarius—clear and pure but with more edge and bite.)
Description: Low-output moving coil. Output: 0.05mV. Frequency response; 5Hz–50kHz, + 5/–1dB. Separation: 25dB at 1kHz, 18dB at 20kHz. Recommended stylus force: L1. grams. Compliance: 20 cu. Weight: 11 grams. Recommended load: 20–100 ohms.
