wasabijim Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Item: Garrott Bros OptimS2 Location: Brisbane CBD Price: $280 (plus postage) Item Condition: used (recently inspected) Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Here we have the combo of the highly regarded Australian Garrot Bros cartridge with a Shibata stylus. Recently inspected and deemed "excellent condition". I picked this up from SNA last year. I've rotated it in and out of my rig but never for long. I found it had an extremely low noise floor, very refined with nice top end detail and good with difficult female vocals. However I'm not sure it made for a good fit with my system as I found myself enjoying my other carts more. I can't adjust VTA which may have benefited from some tweaks. I had Decibel HiFi look at it to ensure it was otherwise in good condition.

81Vintage Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Very nice cart - one of my early ones after the Stanton 500 & 680 DJ stuff and I remember being blown away back then at the detail compared to them.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
