Spotted A JVC X1 MK2 Cartridge Seem To Be Well Regarded

Dear  @neonknight  : The JVC is good performer and competitive. I owned and bougth it by less than 250.00.

How do you know that the one you seen comes with the line contact stylus shape?. All the X1 comes with beryllium cantilever and when I bougth the MK2 the stylus shape was in reality Shibata. Latter on I bought the true MK2 JVC line contact stylus replacement that today you just can't find out.

My sample was a JVC because exist almost the same model Victor that in theory is the same company because JVC means Japan Victor Company

You can buy it but today similar cartridges are really good too, an example of that is the Goldring 1042 that comes with the Replicant 100 ( Ortofon top. ) stylus shape ! !

Is up to you.

They are ok - but I would not buy one ( I own one ) since there are no stylus replacements available any more. Unless it is brand new ( unused ) then it is likely to have had stylus wear.

Get a new Grado, Nagaoka or Soundsmith if you want a MM/MI.

The Grado's are best bang for your buck.

The one on ''audio-markt.de'' is Victor X-1,mk2 NOS. I know because i

listed the cart.

Dear dover, thanks for your  ''suport''. But you can make it up with an full glas

of wine + one with your holy water.
