AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered for the true audiophile: an iconic ADC 550 XE stereo phono cartridge (Moving Magnet) including the original stylus. Audio Dynamics Corporation (ADC) was known in the 1960s and 1970s for its groundbreaking 'Induced Magnet' designs, which produced an extremely low stylus mass and unparalleled tracking quality.

This is truly a great upgrade for your turntable.
Pre-mounted on a headshell, so easy to use.
The cartridge is in very good condition.
Comes with a good original stylus.
