@pbnaudio Last batch of LSK389 I ordered directly from Linear Systems, more than half went straight to garbage. Discrete low noise jfet days are over. 

Those Toshibas are awesome, should be a very low noise phono preamplifier :)

It's a pity that Ortofon celebrate 100 years and all the cartridges celebrated and released  are financially unavailable to the common man. I'll blow out a candle.

AMG - a 2MRed is $100 - the Quintet series is very high performance to price ratio - yes the pinnacle 100 year celebration offering is expensive - and to the ones that wants is most likely worth the price of admission.  Ortofon offers a Century Concorde @ $550 with a shibata shaped stylus.  Your moniker is AMG the premium souped up offerings of Mercedes Benz - I’m truly puzzled by your remarks 

good listening

@pbnaudio Peter, I appreciate your opinion and comments. My moniker are actually my initials and birthdate rather than the desirable but way out of my league Mercedes Benz vehicles.

I was referring to the very high end offerings of Ortofon (Exclusives) that are of the 100year celebration exclusive offering. It would be nice to see some specials for say the Cadenza series Bronze $3000) which is some serious dollars (for me anyway).

A 2MRed is indeed FROM $169 dollars in Australia, and would sound like a cheap cart too. That is why I see so many on the 2nd hand market. A base level 2M Black and Quintet Bronze are both $1000.

Ortofon Australia do not list the Century Concord at all. We must live in totally different markets.
