Here's a review and link below I wrote a year or so ago on Vinyl Engine and I stand by every word today as I had the MC81 in for a couple of days to check. Honestly, you would be hard pressed finding any MC that can compete at this price. Suspension is solid at 2.0 - 2.4 grams where I used it. MC81 and cover shell only for sale, does not include headshell in photos.Packed and Shipped professionally.

The reason I am selling is I have too many cartridges that I just don't have the time to roll in my system anymore. Not certain how many hours it has on it but I put 150-200 on it so there's still life on it, see cartridge/stylus photos. Cantilever is slightly off center so just adjust in headshell as Ikeda san has suggested and thats what I have done with no issues. Comes with stylus guard and packed safely.

From Vinyl Engine:

" I put the Coral MC81 back in today after not listening to it for about a year or so. Within the first few minutes of playing a finely recorded/engineered and pressed BIS LP #260 with Jakob Lindberg playing French lute music I am happy to report that this MC is excellent. Transparency, air, black background, transient speed and soundstage depth are it's hallmarks. Delicately capable with an outstanding clarity reaching deep into the recording. Not the last word in bass control but does a good job getting down there for rock, jazz and symphonic. Referenced with a Scheu Premier Mk II turntable and a SAEC 308N tonearm. "
