Dynavector DV-XX2 mkII w SS stylus

Dynavector XX2 MkII cartridge in excellent condition with low hours. Stylus was replaced by Soundsmith with their top of the line OCL diamond, leaving the original boron cantilever in place. The cartridge has seen little use since the retip (under 10 hours) and in total it has approximately 175 hours, conservatively estimated. Graded as 8/10 because I'm the second owner. 

I purchased this cartridge from a dealer who used it as a trade show demo and claimed a maximum use of 20 hours. No way to verify that figure but the condition and performance fit the description. The stylus cracked after about 150 hours of use so I sent it to Soundsmith for their justly famous retip service. While waiting for Soundsmith I purchased a couple of more costly cartridges and this one never returned to "daily driver" status, hence the low hours after retip and the current sale.   

Original box is included, but not all original hardware (wasn't present at time of initial purchase). Asking price includes shipping within continental US and Paypal fees.
