NOS, a rare and genuinely fantastic find, this Andante
E moving-magnet phono cartridge, is brand new, in its original box.
A highly-desirable cartridge, the
Andante E is a rebadged Grace F9 sold by Sumiko in the 80's.
The bodies are the same as the current Sumiko Pearl series.
Tonally, the Andante E is more like a Koetsu than a Shure, except in resolution, meaning that it is a very sweet and delicate and extended in its portrayal of the highs, rich through the midrange imparting a full-bodied midrange, great for voices. Of course, its bass reproduction is full and deep.
Do a Google-search and you will find glowing reviews about this cartridge.
