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 ?

I tried two different Kansui on my 3P and had sibilance I could not get rid of. I later saw another person on audiogon with the same issue. 

@vortrex  Strange, the reviewer's choice for Madake (for example) was Reed 3p and there is no difference in mass and compliance between Kansui and Madake.   


Miyajima Kansui has arrived today from Denmark, i am excited about it. 
Beautiful African Blackwood body, the velvet box is so cute and small. 

Tips from the manufacturer:
250 Ohm loading with MC phono preamp is recommended
or SUT with 16 Ohm and higher 

How do you guys load your Kansui ?
