Recommended a highly resolving cartridge

Still wow. Be careful. Hearing damage is a really serious thing. I have a number of friends that have a difficulty communicating at all with other people and music is no longer anything they can enjoy at all because of it. 

@ghdprentice Appreciate the advice, for the record it's rare I listen at volume that high, it was a all out night with beer, weed and a new cartridge. 

Good to hear. 👍😄

here's another AT160ML auction about to end

Here’s an opportunity to take a chance on a used AT160ML MM Cartridge with MicroLine Stylus on Beryllium Cantilever, in an AT Magnesium Headshell that provides both Azimuth adjustment and ’concealed’ overhang adjustment.

This is my preferred cartridge, for it's sound, imaging, and light 1.25g tracking.

You need an account with Aleado, a bidding agent, enough verified funds in your account to cover your bid, and then there are many small add on charges, double shipping (seller ships in Japan to Aleado who verifies the item) (Aleado gives you alternate methods/costs to choose to ship to you).

Even with the add-ons, I have done well for about half a dozen items this way.

I do not know this seller. Shipping to USA will resume, 15% tariffs added/billed later on the net winning cost of the item, no tarrifs on the add-on charges.

I like Boron if buying new, and I see they still sell 3 VMN Boron Stylii that fit these older AT150, AT155, AT160; AT440 bodies 

AT-VMN45xML (microlinear/nude/boron cantilever)
AT-VMN50xSH (Shibata/nude/boron cantilever)
AT-VMN60xSL (special line contact/nude/boron cantilever)

I'm happy with my Shure V15VXMR.
