Product: XV-15 Pickering Cartridge (1.25k ohms, side stylus needle 15 x 15)

Pros:

1. High-Quality Sound: The XV-15 Pickering cartridge is known for its high-fidelity sound, providing a rich, detailed, and accurate audio reproduction.

2. Low Impedance: With a low impedance of 1.25k ohms, it is compatible with a wide range of phono preamps, allowing for flexibility in system setup.

3. Stylus Design: The 15 x 15 side stylus needle is designed for excellent tracking and reduced wear on your vinyl records, ensuring longevity of your records and maintaining sound quality over time.

4. Aesthetic Appeal: The unique design of the cartridge adds a touch of elegance to any turntable setup.

Cons:

1. Price: The XV-15 Pickering cartridge is on the higher end of the price spectrum for cartridges, which might not be suitable for those on a budget.

2. Setup Requirements: The cartridge may require careful setup and alignment to achieve optimal performance, which can be time-consuming for beginners.

3. Fragility: As with any high-quality stylus, the XV-15's needle is susceptible to damage if mishandled, which could potentially affect the sound quality.

Conclusion:

The XV-15 Pickering cartridge is a high-quality option for audiophiles seeking a detailed and accurate sound reproduction. Its low impedance and stylus design make it compatible with various phono preamps and turntables, respectively. However, its higher price point and setup requirements may deter some potential buyers. If you prioritize high-fidelity sound and are willing to invest in a quality cartridge, the XV-15 Pickering cartridge could be a worthwhile investment. For those on a tighter budget or less experienced with turntables, you might want to consider less expensive options with simpler setup requirements.

Details:

Here are the last of my cartridges, at least for now. I have tested every cartridge for its output impedance's on both sides.

Here is a Pickering xv i'll figure it out better later. I'll keep lowering the cost until they all sell.

I did pretty good last time sold these so it should go well this time, also. I'll try to get them all listed tonight. If there are any left that just too cheap to bother with, i'll give them away the guys buy most. Either way, they will all be gone in a week.

I know very little about these as normally sell electronics. I don't have time to check every past sale get most for them so i'll just risk the loss and ask same each.
