Thz Thomas for advice, will look out for a Lyra. ^^
Miyajima MADAKE experience
I've noticed that many (if not all) Kansui users tryin' to sell their Miyajima Kansui to upgrade to new released Madake of the higher price. I have zero experience with Kansui or Madake, but i have checked all the rave reviews (there are not so many btw) and spoken to several distributors in Eupore and USA. Seems like Kansui is great even with aluminum cantilever and shibata stylus. Everybody talking about organic sound and musicality of Miyajima top of the line cartridges.
BAMBOO CANTILEVER of the MADAKE is def. exotic solution along with Miyajima-san's CROSS COIL / CROSS RING method.
Appart from the distributors and reviewers it's always important to ask real users (who paid full price) about their Madake experience.
I wonder how this cartridge perform against top of the line modern hi-end cartridges such as ZYX, Benz, Dynavector ... you name it.
Anyone who didn't like it and why ?

Lyra cartridges with its fully open cantilever is so easy to bent/damage. One of the most dangerous cartridge to own, really. Definitely not for everyone. One of the very special and very best cartridges out of Japan is MIYABI by Takeda-San, here is the review. The latest incarnation was made for 47 Labs, another review here. Another interesting one recommended by no other than J.Carr (Lyra owner) is brand new Top Wing coreless-flux, there are two models available. |
$12500 for the Blue Wing cart @chakster . yep, some people like it like that, lol since it was developed by ex Grace (Shinagawa Musen) engineer i will stick to the vintage Grace top models instead. But anyway, Madake and Snakewood Miyajima are also very expensive cartridges if they are new. This month very low hrs Kansui has been sold for $1500 and it's a steal! Sadly i was late. |
