Opinions on a Grace F8c for a freshy

Hello all!
 

Freshy to all all this so bare with me please!

So i am purchasing a PD441 and potentially a seac WE 308SX (in a another post i have going) to get me up and running. 

 

I was wondering what opinions were on the Grace overall as a cartridge. I have been offered an excellent condition one (by the looks of it) for pretty much nothing. 

 

Are they worth getting in 2025?

My listening habits tend to range from instrumentals to ambient.

 

Thank youo!

@elliottbnewcombjr Appreciate the help!

 

@au_lait I presume i can send it to soundsmith for an upgrade. Do you know off teh top of your head how much that would be? I am going to call them tomorrow when they are open.

It is not obvious, but you can change the stylus yourself. I meant ’via’ like ’choose and buy the new stylus from’ Soundsmith. I should have been more clear, my friend thought he had to send his in, but he ordered the stylus and I changed it for him at his house.
