NAGATRON HV9100


Hello all, years gone by I worked for Marcof, some of you may remember the moving coil head amps. At one time Nagoaka asked us to develop a Head Amp for this cartridge. They sent us one, we did a few hours of testing, but only 2 or so hours of listening. So I have a Nagatron HV9100 Ribbon phono cartridge in mint condition in its original box and it is completely spec'd out with full graphs....
It has been gone so long.... Thinking about selling it off, anyone out there have an idea of its value? If it is worth much, I'll list it for sale here, If not, it has been resting fine. Thanks for any replies. Tim

Dear Tim,

Do you still have your nagatron HV9100 to sell ? I am interested !

Cheers,

Hi Tim,

What a pity ! Ribbon cartridges are not easy to find , this one was sold in Japan as the Jeweltone JT-RII , I have seen a Denon patent for a ribbon cartridge , but it never went into production. It seems that the JT-RII was designed by Sugano , who later designed the Koetsus ( according to Jean Hiraga ).

Cheers,
Joseph
