Ortofon Kontrapunkt b MC Cartridge

Excellent Ortofon LO MC Cartridge Kontrapunkt b This is a very high quality LO MC cartridge that although is the prior generation this was the cartridge right next to their famed Jubilee LO MC cartridge. Both cartridges are outstanding performers and far beyond this price point.

This particular cartridge has had light use and always cleaned and well maintained. I have 4 different cartridges so this has only about 300-400 hours on it max. Very dynamic, full range with great bass and airy highs. Features ruby cantilever as well. If you use the recommended tracking force it tracks excellent with no sibilance at all. I never had any issues with this cartridge at all. Easy to setup and use.
Save $1000 from buying a new Ortofon MC cartridge that does not perform any better then this class of MC cartridge!
