Would you pay more than 25% of MSRP for a used cartridge?
It’s an individual choice.  If paying over 25% for a used cartridge is over your comfort level, that’s okay.  Ultimately, the market dictates used prices, not a individual post.    
Is there a correct way to lubricate a turntable bearing
I assume that this method will work with a sintered bronze bushing, correct?  Is your flushing pin the same diameter as the platter’s male bearing?

My Steinway grand piano is 28 1/8" high from the floor to the top of the white keys.  It will not go any lower, therefore, 28 1/8" is the lowest.

TTW Audio (TTWeights)
@stereo5 ………no, we are on the same page.  I will not be dealing with TTW now or in the near future.   
TTW Audio (TTWeights)
I remember when TTW left the industry and posted his scorched earth postings all over the internet slamming both the audio industry and calling audiophiles both gullible and stupid.     Good luck building back all the burnt bridges.

@brunomarcs, how is the $400 shipping cost a Bryston issue?  Did Bryston charge you for the diagnosis?  
Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers
If you are willing to trade/sell your Klipsch Cornwall 4 at 40% below market value, you should be able to sell them without issue.  Heck, at that discount, even the gear flippers will be tempted.
