Shipping to USA addresses only. Please contact me if you have a secondary address in the USA (this way I can ensure your bid wont be automatically blocked). I do NOT use stock photos or canned descriptions. The vast majority of buyers want to see an items actual condition, not glossy photos from the manufacturers site. You can find the manufacturers description and specifications via online searches. Ive added watermarks because other sellers (some with poor feedback) have been using my original photos. I am not affiliated with other sellers; what you see in my photos is exactly what youll receive. Pictures may include test equipment, cables, connectors, and auxiliary equipment that are NOT a part of the auction. Read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are bidding on. This listing is for one Sumiko headshell with litz wires and gold (or gold plated) contacts throughout. As with the tonearms and turntables I had listed several months ago, this Sumiko headshell belonged to a friends late husband. My friend has entrusted me with the sale of her husbands audio components. This headshell appeared in previous listings (but wasnt for sale) because I used it to show various phono cartridges were working. You can see the Sumiko headshell on my turntable (which is not for sale). Other audio components, to include output transformers, have surfaced, so please keep an eye on my forthcoming auctions. Thank you for viewing! Reminder: I only ship to addresses in the USA. Im batting 100% positive feedback after nearly two decades of buying and selling on eBay. I kindly leave positive feedback for those who do the same. Some recent feedback (as a seller) includes: Possibly the best seller on eBay Ive dealt with. Highly recommended. / An extremely helpful seller! Thank you for everything. / Great seller! An expert in sound measurement. Very responsive to questions. Prior to my current username, I had over 2000 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive feedback (Ive changed my username once or twice over the many years). I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end auctions early. Item will be sold to the high bidder (heck, a single bidder might get a fantastic deal). My auctions are old-fashioned auctions--the way they ought to be. Payments must be received within 72 hours after end of auction. Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed. No returns (buyers remorse shouldnt be the sellers responsibility--see * below). Nothing in this listing is misleading. Photos are an integral part of the description: View all photos carefully. If something isnt clear, write before you bid. I pack items with great care--the same way Id like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Like other sellers, I do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Large parcels will be shipped via UPS Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither eBay nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no prime or overnight shipping. *Heres why I no longer accept returns: Too many bidders with buyers remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a return. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because these buyers did not know how to properly use it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they caused. Bottom line: NO MORE RETURNS! If the wrong item is shipped (I have yet to do this), I will promptly exchange the item and pay for shipping to-and-from the buyer. Please understand what youre buying is USED (unless its clearly stated as new). RE electronics equipment: I encourage all viewers to compare my listings to other sellers listings and photos: If a printed circuit board is on anything other than an ESD mat, then the seller doesnt know how to exercise appropriate ESD precautions. Many electronic devices are easily compromised or destroyed due to improper handling. I use appropriate ESD protection measures when handling static-sensitive equipment. Items that are ESD sensitive will be shipped in anti-static wrapping.

PLEASE READ SO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND PRECISELY WHAT YOURE BUYING!!!!!!! What youre looking at is a fully complete, 100% functional and pretty kick a** phono stage that will set you back about $1,400 - $1,500 USD if you were to go out & purchase it all new right now. Furthermore, this is no longer a normal Fluance RT85. This turntable is upgraded far beyond anything Fluance have available for purchase on their website. So, if you want to get into spinning records & have them sound really good, but you dont have thousands of dollars to throw around, this listing is the absolute end of your journey. Everything youll need to get up & runnin is right here in 1 spot. ...and I mean everything. It doesnt matter if youre brand new to vinyl or youre replacing/upgrading a decades old setup, this is a turnkey phono stage. Again, its also a pretty kick a** one at that. Basically, Im trying to sell you a totally decked out Fluance Reference Series turntable w/ its own linear power supply, brand new $300 cartridge mounted to a $150 headshell and $200 feet & record puck. It also has a $200 Pro-Ject phono preamp and everything youll need to hook it all up. Youll also receive 2 spare Fluance headshells & a spare Audio Technica MM cartridge as well as record AND stylus brushes. Below is a checklist of everything included with your purchase, as well as their MSRP prices: - Fluance RT85 Turntable. Piano Black (acrylic platter, dustcover, belt & 45 adapter in original box). $500 MSRP- BRAND NEW Sumiko Moonstone cartridge Mounted On Pro-Ject Carbon Fiber Headshell. $450 MSRP- Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Phono Preamp (in original box). $200 MSRP- MNPCTech Isolation Feet.

Its nice to have a backup cartridge) * = Items that were included for the sake of turnkey operation/completion. I wanted this package to be a true plug & play option for those who are interested in vinyl but may not know every in & out of putting together a complete phono stage. I want to say, once again, that this is a 100% complete & fully functional phono stage. One stop shopping. Totally turnkey. Youll assemble the turntable, set the tracking force & anti-skate and be ready to roll. If you watch a tutorial on youtube youll have this task completed in 10-15 minutes. If you already know what youre doing, 5-6 minutes. You wont do better for this type of $$$ either. Not unless youre buying stuff thats been used for years & years. Here youre getting items that range in age from 3 months to 3 days. Im not selling because Im dissatisfied. Im selling because my digital music library is growing 75 to 1 faster than my vinyl collection...and I want a fancy standalone streamer/DAC. Feel free to message me w/ legitimate offers (LOWBALLERS WILL BE IGNORED). If you live relatively close to me & shipping doesnt cost an arm & a leg, I will be able to do a little better on the price. The set price is to cover me in case someone on the other side of the country makes the purchase & it ends up costing $135 - $150 USD to ship to them. Items will be safely packaged & shipped via USPS, with tracking, for buyers in the lower 48 states. Sorry, no international buyers. Payment must be made immediately at time of purchase. ALL SALES FINAL!!! Thanks for looking...

Onkyo CP-1116a - Excellent belt driven turntable. This one punches way above its weight class!! Big bonus, you are getting the lightly used Sumiko Oyster Cartridge ($80 new - great bass)!!! The cartridge is aligned and ready to plug and play out of the box. You can still check it if you like. If you have other cartridges you prefer - Bonus! you will get 2 additional headshells ($30 value) with the purchase!! Printed 16 page copy of manual included (last picture). It is in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Swiss. One of the more impressive features about this turntable is its high-tech resonance/vibration resistant composite base and feet. No feedback from bass. I know what youre thinking...a good turntable has to weigh from 20 to 30 pounds...8.4 lbs?? Its a light-weight. When I tell you this gets no feedback, I mean none!!! Now that is space age composite plastic!!! Not sure what the composite rubber feet are made of, but I have a feeling that is a big factor to the vibration resistance. Leave it to the engineering excellence of the Japanese to come up with such ingenious materials. No this is not exotic zebra wood, rosewood, maple, oak or the wood sourced for a Stradivarius, but, hey, the price point for that type of table would be in the thousands!! This is a great table! The RCA connectors are internally grounded so no ground wire. The cover hinges are metal...not cheap plastic!!! I love turntables and have owned a Thorens TD125 (w/Rega Arm), Dual 1019, Yamaha D6, Stanton ST-100 and others....believe me, I know what Im talking about. The Thorens was my favorite. You will NOT get this type of engineering and quality from a new entry level turntable at this price point, you will get Chinese junk. A new Crosley, Victrola, Ion, etc. is total garbage, laughable trash. Would not want one even for free. They make great paper weights. The included cartridges on those pieces of rubbish are awful. Believe me sound quality for this turntable is exceptional! This is an auto-return, so it is basically a manual turntable. Legendary ONKYO audiophile engineering and design!! I love this table. Sad to sell, but this is the opportunity for it to amaze a new owner. Built in Japan. Platter has been removed and placed under the turntable. Headshell also has been removed for safety and the tonearm tied down. Of course cover is bubble wrapped (along with everything else) and placed on top. This will arrive safely! DONT lose out -- BID!! You will not be disappointed!!
