For Sale: Sony XL-15 Moving Magnet Cartridge with Original Stylus

Offered for sale is a Sony XL-15 MM phono cartridge fitted with its original Sony stylus, showing little use and remaining in good condition. A highly underrated vintage cartridge, the XL-15 is appreciated for its balanced, musical presentation, smooth midrange and excellent tracking performance.

Manufactured in Japan during the golden era of analogue audio, the Sony XL-15 features a moving magnet design, a lightweight construction and a high-quality aluminium cantilever. It is capable of delivering a detailed yet natural sound that compares favourably with many contemporary moving magnet cartridges.
