Lyra Helikon SL Low output moving coil

Excellent LOW output moving coil cartridge from Lyra. SL stands for "super low" as this cartridge has about .2mv of output, so you must have a phono preamp with at least 60-62 db of gain. The benefits are a more realistic "vivid" presentation compared to their standard Helikon. This one has had very little use over the years. I'd estimate about 500-600 hours of use out of about 2000 hours possible, so still lots of life left! Stylus is straight and true as you can see from my pics and has not collapsed like some older stylus assemblies do. Their current model will run you about $3000. Check out the excellent reviews this cartridge got and you'll understand why it was so popular a few years ago! Paypal adds 3%
