Miyajima Zero Mono on Technics 1200G

I have Miyajima stereo cartridge Kansui and i would never use it on Technics tonearm. This cartridge must be used on high mass tonearms like Ikeda or Fidelity-Research. The mass of those heavy tonearm are 3 times as much compared to Technics tonearm. 

Chakster is right,  but it’s up to you. It will still work and might sound ok. It just won’t sound its best. It’s part of the learning process to learn from making mistakes. I prefer myself to read these forums and learn from others, and avoid wasting time, and money.

I have a new miyajima premium BE that will go nicely on my Ikeda tonearm. Not for awhile though as I have other cartridges  to try first. I heard it at a friends many times playing on his Fidelity Research fr64s. It sounded really great on that arm. Is mono new to you? Your going to really like it. It’s amazing hearing average sounding records with noisy ticks and pops come to life with the noise very diminished.

Still undecided about the Miyajima cartridge as I haven't heard of anyone else using one on my table.  Two dealers told me that thought it would be fine but from past experiences I have learned to be cautious.  I really appreciate all the comments though!@chakster  Your idea about a heavier headshell and counterweight was what i thought might make it possible but obviously a heavier arm would be ideal.@billstevenson   You were one of the people who inspired me to buy the table in the first place as we seem to have similar tastes in older recordings, etc.  I also took your suggestion from another thread here and bought the Audio Sensibility Statement OCC phono cords awhile back.  A noticeable improvement over the Zu cables they replaced.@sdrsdrsdr  I have thousands of mono records in my collection so the mono thing is not new to me.  I am just trying to raise my game as I want to start recording things digitally later this year.  (If I live that long!)

Andy on your turntable you could use Grace F14 LC-OFC MONO cartridge and this is a perfect match, the generator is true mono with just two pins. The stylus is Advanced Luminal Trace which is better for later MONO records than conical tip.

Actually many modern cartridge designers stated that advanced profile is a benefit for later MONO originals (60's, 70's) or mono re-issues. One of them is J.Carr (Lyra). 

P.S. I love Zu Mission and Mission mk2 phono cables.
