{"product_id":"michell-cusis-m-cartridge-exchange","title":"Michell CUSIS M Cartridge Exchange","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Michell CUSIS M Cartridge Exchange lets you trade in your worn or damaged CUSIS M and take $950 off a brand-new one. The cartridge is the only part of your system that genuinely wears out: a diamond riding a groove until it starts to tell on itself. A dull stylus, a tired suspension, a cantilever that lost a fight with a curious hand or a cat on the shelf. When yours is spent, you shouldn't have to pay full price to hear your records again. Send back the old CUSIS M and a factory-fresh one comes the other way, same model, $950 less. Not a retip, not a rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy this trade-in.

This trade-in is built for them. Instead of paying full retail on your next CUSIS M, send the old one back and get a brand-new one at 25% off. Full warranty, same as buying new. The program covers the whole CUSIS range, from the high-output E\/H up to the Microline-stylus M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSee our \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/terms-of-service#cartridge-exchange-program\"\u003eCartridge Trade-In Terms\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/shipping-policy#cartridge-exchange-shipping\"\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/a\u003e for full details.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Listening Room Difference\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're a third-generation family business with a brick-and-mortar showroom in Chestertown, Maryland, and a reputation built on exceptional service and relentless passion for hifi.
