I would just buy a new SMMC1  and send it to you when I got it. Straight swap and I live in the UK so there are no other taxes. However if Soundsmith are being so reasonable, I would go with them. They are a super company and each cartridge is handmade. I have a SMMC20EN, which I bought from a member who needed the money at cost price and have been perfectly happy with it. I was just seeing if there was a way to avoid you losing too much money but it would seem that Soundsmith are sorting that out for you.

Best wishes, 

Thanks so much, you are very kind :)

If they inform me a little better and check the costs, I will tell you if I maybe interested to swap cartridges with YOU.

The thing is I am afraid that my expensive cartridge maybe lost on its way to USA and then.... ?? 

Of course and surely there will be costs to send my cartridge to them AND to receive the new one...  nothing is absolutely free... 

I really don't know whats the best to do....  and safer....   and of course, cheaper....  :)

If you decide to buy the Beogram 1700 with MMC20S to fit your new cartridge to and the MMC20S appears to work fine, please let me know your price if you wish to sell the MMC20S! The MMC20S may be towards the bottom of the range but it is still a good cartridge! I have one on my BeoCenter 7000 and I am very happy with it but a spare would come in handy.

I would like to sell my SMMC20CL+ cartridge !

Please give me your offers how much are you willing to pay for this cartridge.

In which country are you ?

I will use UPS courier. 

I think it best if you deal directly with Soundsmith. I think it will be much easier and if they will give you a refund on the 20CL+, you will probably be better off. I was offering to buy a new SMMC1 for you and simply swap it for the CL+ when it looked as though you would get no refund. If this is not the case then there is no sense in complicating the issue. I already have a large number of cartridges so don't need another. Just trying to be helpful but it would seem that Soundsmith have already done that.

Best wishes, 

Thank you very much !

I am waiting Soundsmith's answer to send my cartridge, refund me, and then send me the new one.

I hope everything will be ok. then...   If it isn't,  I will have you to help me and I'll do what you said, will you ? 

So I have two 2 solutions to my problem ! 🙂 

Thank you Peter !  🙂 

Hi Peter  !  

I wrote several time to Soundsmith these past days, but I have not heard of them.....  (in order to send them the cartridge and send me the correct model as they wrote.....)

Do you think that they are on holidays or ....  ?

In case I dont hear them in August will you be interested still to do the swap you told me ?

Thanks so much for all your kind and prompt replies  🙂
