Acoustical Systems Archon Moving Coil Cartridge

This exceptional cartridge is one of a limited series made each year by Acoustical Systems.  I've owned a lot of cartridges in my lifetime and this is one of my favorites.  It out performs all my previous cartridges: Benz Ebony H ($3600.); Benz Glider SH ($1500.); Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony ($1300.); and Well Tempered TLC ($550.).  It rates favorably along side of my Jan Allearts MC1 Boron ($4999.).  It is in excellent condition with approximately 250 hours of play time.
