Has anyone heard the Miyajima 'Snakewood' cartridge,

@dr-john
What are your impressions, now you've had some time to evaluate the cartridge?

Nandric, Once you squeeze all the oil out of it, snake wood is really hard.

After running it through the Cardas pink noise locked grooves for about 12 hours, the Snakewood Madake has opened enough to assess it - maybe more will be revealed, but what I'm hearing now certainly makes my heart beat a little faster.  Its general nature is still Miyajima: natural and neutral and still with the most musical midrange I've heard.  But this snakewood body creates a more detailed and precise image. Hard to believe, but the bass is now tighter and  the treble is extended slightly more with a noticeable increase in air surrounding each instrument, singer, etc.   

And I should mention also that the now-pin-point imaging is noticeably sharper within a more expansive soundstage than what the Blackwood Madake renders - though the Shuguang Black Treasure KT-88’s in the VAC Phi 300 may contribute there as well.
