Buy from a trusted source. I done so and have had good luck. When all goes right you can get a tremendous value. I've done so and enjoyed the rewards that would otherwise been beyond my wallet.
New or used cartridge
I have have good experiences buying a previously owned cart in the past, but have heard several telling me to buy new.. I wish there was a way, to tell how many hours was on a used cart. Other than putting the cantilever under a microscope, I see no way concerning the hours/use/condition of a used cart.. I kinda look at it as buying a used car. Let someone else take the initial "hit". then buy from them, as they're moving over or up. I have an excellent Koetsu Urushi Black I'm going to put up for sale. I love it's sound, but am wanting to move up the ladder so to speak.
