Downsizing house so time to downsize toys. Quite a rare cart, I had while developing my range of Temaad arms, this is one I had that I developed the Temaad cartridge body cap for. It is estimated the cart has done under 150 hours.
Considered by all that this is the best sounding of the 103 range, the cap is a lot bigger than most people realise. After fitting the body cap the cart is easily comparible with my $4500 Accuohase AC-2 cart, The other big advantage is it is a medium compliance cart. Therefore will play on most of the popular medium Eff Mass arms out there, However with the body cap the cart can be played with low Eff Mass arm like a Hadcock, Technics 1200 arm or 3009 etc. Where is older design sibling the 103/103R require a high Eff Mass arm to sound at it's best. The other advantage it has over nearly all is other siblings (except the 103S) is that it has an Elliptical stylus, whereas the other 103's are conical.
The ave selling price of these on the Bay is 550, (without CAP)!! MY PRICE US$450, plus postage, TBA depending on location.
