Ortofon MC Anna Diamond cartridge serial # 039, fully factory rebuilt, being sold as a preowned consignment piece and easily rated 10/10 condition, tested with far less than < 10 hours of use, the cartridge was originally purchased brand new from us as an MC Anna model, then factory upgraded and rebuilt to the MC Anna Diamond version and was only briefly mounted/tested since back from Ortofon factory service in Denmark on 10/12/21.  A modern legend of playback performance, a truly end of the road low output moving coil cartridge.  Beautiful tonality, very natural musical balance, plenty of bass, resolution, dynamics and enough accuracy to please the most demanding analog enthusiast.  Superlative tracker as well.  Includes limited warranty, we are an authorized Ortofon dealer.  Please contact me directly at [email protected] or 219.933.8115  with questions.  Chicagoland pickup welcome.
