Thanks, very clear information.
Since the owner claimed that it "had a new needle", how can I evaluate the condition of the stylus?
My phono stage is a Proton 1100 preamp. It likely doesn't stack up against preamps in the multi-hundred dollar range, but my understanding is that the innards are essentially identical to a NAK of the same class. So, from what I gather, not a bad little pre.
Now what to do with the Sumiko cartridge.
