Micro Seiki MA-505LS tone arm, anybody familiar?

Looking for anybody who is using or has used a Micro Seiki MA-505LS tonearm.
This is the long version with silver wire.
Interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions on this arm and what carts you ran on it or think is best suited to it.
This is mounted on a very solid plinth containing a Garrard 401.
Thank you.

Consider some of the SoundSmith Cartridges.

@uberwaltz,

Just from an listening perspective, I agree with drrsutliff. My Sussurro MkII is the most enjoyable cart I’ve ever owned.

EMT TSD-15 is actually 0.9 mV . They used other record to
measure output and got different (low) output. 
Excellent cart for a modest price.

Thx Nandric, I will research them.

As to the Soundsmith carts as suggested.

Always been on my radar to try, should have bought one when certain dealers were having a 50% off sale!

Ah well......

Will be trying the Denon DL103R cart again through a Denon CU-320 step up that I acquired for peanuts.
This unit has a good reputation so we will see how that pans out on this arm on the 401 TT.
More to discover
