Further Information:
Up for sale is my XQUISITE CA moving coil Cartride(rrp $12,950) made out of Switzerland by the highly respected Thales company known previously for high end Turntables and Tonearms.
It presents in outstanding condition(perfectly straight cantilever) having only been used for roughly 50-60 hours. It’s now at the point of being run in for the next owner. I’ll probably regret selling this! 
It has been calibrated personally by the highly respected Michel Huber who is the head designer at Thales. It has elevated all the records in my collection to a level far above what I was previously experiencing using a Charisma Reference 2. This was a great cartridge too but this is at another level all together. It has greater clarity, control and an immersive sound quality. Instrument separation is of the highest quality as is the soundstage it presents. Most importantly it is very musical and can perform to a high level with genres from Jazz to hard rock and everything in between.
