thesnodger Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Item: Sound-Smith Hyperion OCL Moving Iron MK 1 Location: Lower North Shore Sydney Price: offers around $5000 Item Condition: As new Reason for selling: No longer needed Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I have just had this cart completely rebuilt and re-tipped by Soundsmith (at considerable cost) so effectively this is as new. However as I am relocating I need to raise some extra $$ to help with the cost and this unfortunately is on the list for things not coming with me! This is the top-of-the-line cart with the Cactus cantilever! Purchased in 2014 from Warwick at Pure Music Group, it has had plenty of use (hours unknown) but as I say it has just come back from USA with a full rebuild and retip so it's as new again. These now cost over $10k in Australia so bag one now for 50% of that. Specs: Features: • Fixed Coil Cartridge Type • Contact Line O.C.
