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.

I've heard that  Lumière DST is a terrible cartridge

Unfortunately there are non-conformist audiophiles who, to distinguish themselves from others, try at all costs the novelty along a different path, the specialized press and the internet with fake news thrown with surgical precision by ignoble influencers cloud the minds of these weak people who do not want to take known paths and consolidated ..... and here is the result.

I'm not quite sure I follow what you're trying to communicate here, but thanks just the same for waving the red flag on this Lumière. One less thing to worry about I guess.

Sorry for my bad English but I can't do better.  :(

@best-groove, you don't have to apologize for your use of English (it's not my first language either), but I wasn't sure if I were to consider myself as a 'non-conformist audiophile', an 'ignoble (?) influencer' or one of the 'weak people' being taken for a ride. Or perhaps none of the above? And what's this about 'specialized press and fake news'? Conspiracies in our little community? You gotta be joking 😛
