SPECIAL DEAL FOR FELLOW ASYLUM DWELLERS - MY LOWEST PRICE!Denon DL-S1 low output moving coil cartridge with approximately 175 hours of use mounted exclusively on a VPI JMW 12.7 arm. Smoke and pet free home. Outstanding condition and sounds wonderful. Selling only because I've decided to mount a brand new DL-S1 on my new VPI 3D arm, and have already sold the JMW 12.7 arm. All original accessories included. I have extensive feedback on both Audiogon and Ebay, please check! Denon says of the DL-S1 the following:
Designed for the descriminating ear, this audiophile moving coil cartridge provides the pinnacle of performance with any high-end system.
A newly developed ultra fine wire combining pure gold and 6N copper has been used in the voltage-generating coil. By combining the excellent qualities of gold and copper, a pure and clean analog sound quality has been achieved.
Stable, analog reproduction via superb tracing capability
Use of a tapered cantilever, a non-magnetic coil bobbin, and a 0.07 mm square micro stylus chip have allowed a reduction of effective mass of the vibration system, a lowering of the mechanical impedance, and a stable tracing of the grooves in the record.
Elimination of unwanted vibrations with carefully selected materials
A ceramic frame and a highly rigid aluminum body that has received a double alumite treatment eliminate unwanted vibrations. The cartridge can be mounted in the head shell with 4 screws.

Moving Magnet phono sections WILL need either a step-up transformer or an active pre-preamplifier. I'm using it with an EAR 864 with absolutely no problems. Shipping will be at your expense, and I prefer FEDEX or USPS priority. Buyer can send me their zip code and I'll provide a shipping estimate. Buyer must include paypal's fee, 3% of the combined item/shipping price.
