For Sale the Astounding and very rare Ortofon Jubilee ! this is something that very rarely comes up in a one owner example that I have owned myself from brand new - I have the original receipt and its had pretty light use - as i enjoy music off few media sources from cds to streaming and the few quality records I have i like to enjoy the very best I can.
The Ortofon Jubilee as per Ortofon's was a celebratory cartridge for their 80th Anniversary...it features a nude Shibata diamond and 99.999% pure silver coils.. it has a gorgeous sound, very highly regarded and quite sought after and hence rarely comes up !

so quite a snip selling here at less than half the price of a comparable cartridge of today in the Ortofon Cadenza black.
I have taken some photos so can see the nude Shibata diamond and boron cantilever are in perfect condition, The cartridge body is without any marks and as new as is the connectors and it comes in original box and packaging, spec and info sheet and with all accessories.
It was professionally fitted to my rega P9 previously by Carlton Audio Visual and recently taken off and carefully mounted in its protective case. In its beautiful and excellent condition it has plenty of life still.
Infact, this can be a cartridge for life as given the top flight high end cartridge it is Ortofon provides its full service of complete rebuilt on it so something can keep enjoying as long as you like... !

MC Jubilee
Ortofon MC Jubilee High-End cartridge was launched in 1998 to celebrate Ortofon’s 80th Anniversary.
The Ortofon MC Jubilee features a unique exterior design and an interior construction based on numerous technological advances in the service of your listening experience. The cartridge incorporates Wide Range Damping system, controlling the high-and low frequency damping separately. The effective mass has been reduced in the stylus/cantilever system by using a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight compared to aluminum. The velocity of sound is almost 3 times higher compared to that of aluminum.
Nude high-polished Shibata diamond stylus
Amazing sound Combined with the Nude high-polished Shibata diamond stylus at the end of the cantilever we have developed one of the new elements responsible for the new sound 6-nines (99.9999%) pure silver is used for the coils on the armature.
Amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics, and purity of sound of the Ortofon MC Jubilee set new standards for potency, detail, consistency, and sound staging. A high performance MC transformer or MC preamplifier is required to take full advantage of these qualities. Recommended load: 10 Ohms or much higher, unless the ancillary system has bright tendencies.
