Bang & Olufsen MMC 20EN Phono Cartridge - functional, good stylus
This phono cartridge is a common plug mount style and can be used on any B&O with the tongue oriented plug at the end of the tone arm. B&O 3400 line and others.
Hard to find gently used in excellent condition.
It is in excellent condition with no dents, major scratches, or marks. Nicest condition I have seen in some time.
Sapphire with tube cantilever - rare and of high qua...lity.
Nude diamond stylus. Super clean under the jewelers scope.
Examining the stylus using a jewelers scope, it is clean, clear, solid, no rounding on tip.
Cantilever is straight, no bends, dents, cracks or chips.
I took it off a working B&O turntable that had sat unused in a house (dry) for many years and it sounds great.
Specifications:
This B&O MMC 20CL was the top of the line cartridge of the 20 series, (made of sapphire tube cantilever, it has very low mass yet is 21% more rigid than beryllium and 500% more rigid than aluminum commonly used in other cartridges. This rigidity virtually eliminates any distortion-causing vibration within the cantilever ). It's designed for turntable with a tangential arm. It can be used with other vintage or modern lightweight tone arms with the right ½ inch adapter. MMC 20CL was the best MM cartridge ever produced in the world when first introduced and still highly acclaimed by many audiophiles.
