    Description

    Up for auction is a Lyra Helikon low output moving coil cartridge.
    The original owner had it for just a few months when his
    "cleaning lady" caused a broken stylus.
    It was then traded in and has been in storage ever since.
    Last month it was retipped with a Boron cantilever.
    It has been tested and sounds glorious!
