JVC MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge - Heritage?


I have one of these cartridges that I used for about 2 years(1980 - 1982). It has been stored since 1982. Does anyone know the history(design heritage(if any), how it was reviewed, good/bad qualities, value, etc.) of this cartridge? I believe it was a bit of a cult item when it was in production.

Dear chakster, Dertonarm was the first who advised me to
get those FR-7 kinds with low impedance FR SUT's. My
problem was the assumption that one needs different SUT's
for different carts impedance. I own many MC's with different
impedance  but I was reluctant to collect SUT's next to the
carts. His theory was/is that not only impedance but also
inductance need to  ''correspond' with each other. I give up
because of the involved complexity or, to put this otherwise,
my technical inability to deal with the issue. But after some
time I discovered Denon S1 SUT which can be used for all
MC carts irrespective of their impedance. I see by your Luxman
8000 + 8025 proposition the same possibility as by Denon S1.
But ''your Luxman 8000'' has also additional transformers 8020
and 8030 which are in accordance with  say, ''the old theory''. 
8020 for low impedances and 8030 for high impedances. 
If one has no idea about which theory is ''true'' one should
of course choose this possibility. The most of my MC carts are
low impedance but I also own some very good carts (Benz LP
and Magic Diamond) which are 40 Ohms. So if I can get this
''combo'' of 8000+ 8020 + 8030 I can't go wrong?
@nandric i think you can’t go wrong with Toroidal Silver SUT like Luxman, the price is more than reasonable (imo). For my cartridge i don’t need 8020 (40 Ohm), but i have 8025 and 8030 to cover everything. I never tried Denon SUT you have, so you can compare and tell me :))
I have zero respect for JVC after a horrendous experience with one of their products that never worked properly despite four trips to their repair depot. At that point, in complete frustration, I threw it in the trash bin and never looked back.

What was that? Your jvc VHS camera ? 


Chalker if you must know, it was a car stereo. The reputation “Junk Very Cheap” was certainly deserved by JVC. The replacement Alpine deck served tremendously well, and was transferred to my next car.
