The Link is to a pairing for a MM Cart’ that I have a past usage of a Cart’ as a P77 Model.
I have owned other MM Cart’s made in Japan for UK Companies and from Companies from Japan offered products.
The P77 even though needing a new stylus is retained for other times, probably to be for my wife’s to be Vinyl Source System.
My Math is suggesting for the most expensive option for the Cart’ with Stylus @ approx’ $320 there is approx’ 1000 hours of music at $00.32c per hour. Add another Jico SAS/B down the road and the hourly usage will drop to less that .30c.
Even better news is a replacement styli with an Aluminium Cantilever is able to be purchased for close to $50.00 @ 00.05c per hour of usage.
