Koetsu Rosewood Signature 450+ Hours

This Koetsu Rosewood Signature has been babied, which is appropriate! I got it from a reliable AG member who bought it as a very low hour dealer demo. I have been in this hobby for well over 40 years and have owned many wonderful cartridges, tone arms, etc. This is authentic, as described. The AG member has a collection of top mc cartridges and had no need for another Koetsu. (He uses a K. Coral Stone). Also, he told me that this cartridge was inspected by Andy Kim (The Needle Clinic-California) just after he purchased it.) It has correct balance, sound staging, low distortion and excellent tracking in my SME 4 tone arm.
The cartridge is very clean, properly aligned and had about 50 hours on it when I purchased it. It is a modern Koetsu with the silver colored cartridge pins. Original, NOT modified.
The only way to describe the performance, is LOVELY! Koetsu dealers seldom discount them at all there is no need to. Output is .4 mv.
I encourage you to carefully look over my long, perfect reputation on Audiogon, as well as my even longer 100% perfect record on Ebay, Feedback is nearly 1600. I also use "thegotoguy01".
This is one item that I will NOT ACCEPT as a return. A fine, high end cartridge is fragile if mishandled, and I have no way to verify how it was used if a return is requested! Do not make an offer if this condition is not acceptable to you! Let my reputation be your guide!  My fellow AG members are valued, and I believe that whoever gets it, will be satisfied.

Thank you for understanding.
