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

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!

Wait a week or two. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but you had a first rate case of expectation bias.
