Anyone ever listened to a vintage Victor Laboratory X1 cartridge


Howdy folks!

Been a long time since I've chimed in here. I've got the opportunity to get something quite rare and quite good, a Victor Laboratory X-1 MM cartridge. Wondering if anyone has ever listened to one. Thanks, Brent

My cart should be arriving in a week or so. Going on my Technics 1200 GR. I'll let you all know how it goes. I know already it's going to be killer. I'm talking to Chakster as I type this :)

For those that are interested in visiting with one of Audiogon’s finest and missed vintage friends, you can find chakster on instagram.

Thanks - I prefer to buy dodgy used cartridges from Japan directly rather than 3rd party resellers.

For commentary on the X1 and the entire (I think) Victor line as well as (for whatever the exercise may be worth to you) audio clips of the cartridges in action visit this thread:

The Victor X-1 cart arrived this morning from St.Petersburg and is mounted on my 1200GR. Wow, it's good. It's REALLY good!
