Zalman Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Further Information: Goldring 1042 Cart in perfect nick with stylus that has done about 500 hrs. These by all accounts last 1000 hrs. I purchased the 1042 and a spare d42 stylus. I ran the spare for 30hrs to be used as replacement when the original wore out and for comparison purposes. So its better than new not quite run in. Current new replacement cost for this setup runs about $1400 at A2A. Eventually you realise this hobby is about synergy and personal preference. I have been bitten by the magic (to my ears) of the Shure v15 111 and even though its probably not as good as the 1042 it just makes me happier, if that makes any sense. Post is covered.
