In Reply to: RE: Replacing DV Karat 17D2 - opinions wanted posted by neolith on April 11, 2017 at 15:01:28
My vinyl rig has become secondary in my setup and I haven't listened to it in a couple years. In fact I have it in an unused audio rack covered up to keep the dust off. The last time I brought it out, I just used the DV-20XH or DL103R.
The 17D3 was one of my favorites when I was more active in vinyl. If you're interested in giving it a try, I'll let my 17D3 go for $450 + shipping. If you don't like it, you can return it and I'll refund your $450. You pay return shipping.
I can't say how many hours I have on it but it's not a lot as I have rotated between various cartridges and haven't been active in a couple years.
I'm not positive that I have the mounting hardware, box, paper, etc., but I'll look. I -think- I have them but might require a bit of digging through some boxes. Send me private email from my profile if you might be interested.

Abe, I may take you up on your offer. Lots of things to consider (such as using the D2 on my second table - currently a Grado Red with very low mileage), older stylus v new tip from SoundSmith (and D3 v D2), etc. Any chance you have a picture of the stylus? I have a cheap USB microscope but taking pictures of the D2/D3 is a real PITA - much easier with the Grado.
I married the perfect woman. The downside is everything that goes wrong is my fault.

Sorry, this is about the best I can do w/o a macro lens. Looks like I do have the box, screws, documentation for the 17D3:
All the stuff
Stylus in good shape. Sorry I couldn't get any closer
Cantilever is straight
Red stylus protector. (head shell not included)
Don't want to step on any toes here but if the OP here does not want this cartridge, I would be happy to get if for $450 + shipping. I have payment ready to go, let me know if OP does not want it and you are still ineterested in selling it?
I AM interested in selling it as I have not used it in a few years and don't expect that I will need it. I plan to keep the DV-20XH "just in case" I get the itch to setup the TT again. ;-)
I'll give the OP a couple days to decide.
Best way to reach me is by sending email via my Asylum profile. I would need your contact info as well. Thanks.
The only screws I ever were able to use were the ones which came with the cart.
I never found ANY screws other than the OEM which would actually fit.
Perhaps the thread changed?. I use Soundsmith screws which provide an interesting look on the cartridge. Love the cartridge. $450 is a good price.
Time for more music.
Never had to look for OEM screws as I just kept the ones that came with the 17D3 cartridge, which are shown in the photos.
I know that this is not the classified section, but $450 is a very fair price and offered by a long standing member.
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have posted it here but thought I would jump in to give the OP another possible option. Thanks.
Looks pretty good, much better than my D2. I will get back to you once I have made up my mind. Thanks.

Maybe later today on the stylus photo if I can get close enough. I don't have a USB microscope or macro lens.
