I'm updating an older thread. The first thing I'm selling is a 2M Red stylus. Backstory below. Price lowered from $50 shipped to $40 shipped. I'm selling a very lightly used Ortofon 2M Red stylus only, though it is housed in a non-functioning cartridge. The context: I bought a Debut Carbon Esprit SB from Insound's closing sale. It comes with the 2M Red. But I already had a relatively new Grado Gold1 cartridge. So I played the Esprit with the Red for about 2 weeks max before deciding I would be able to swap out the cartridges (I had done so before on a vintage table), but I pulled too hard and out came one of the prongs at the back of the cartridge. I quickly rushed to my nearest audio store for them to swap the cartridges. I was then told I destroyed the cartridge's wiring, but the stylus was in great shape and could be placed into any 2M shell. So I will ship the 2M Red stylus still attached to the non-functioning cartridge, packed nicely to anywhere in the world for $40US including shipping and Paypal fees. I think that's a pretty good deal considering replacement cartridges sell for $87US at the moment. And I will offer a guarantee that if it doesn't work, you can send it back to me for a refund. Will also trade towards an entry level desktop headphone amp a la Schiit Magni. Also available: NAD PP3i phono preamp. Very good working condition - used regularly for three years and worked perfectly the entire time. Has a USB out to connect to a computer, though I never used this and have heard it's not the best, but still workable. $85US shipped anywhere in the world. Shure SRH840 - got these in a deal with another set of headphones, though not exactly sure I want to keep them - don't know if I have a place for them. Pretty immaculate condition. Not totally sure I'll sell, but will consider offers (trades included). Ringmat - got this as a thrown in with a new phono preamp, and I don't think I'll need it since I have an acrylic platter, but it's a turntable mat that apparently is pretty good. Looks to be in good shape. Seems to sell for 40 pounds or more in the UK (or at least it did - I can't tell if these are still being sold). Here's what it looks like. $25 shipped? Way less if you buy from me on Discogs (http://www.discogs.com/seller/raindogtrombone/profile)
