The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa


Anyone out there have this cartridge? Very intriguing design ala Transfiguration. Impedance is 1.5 ohms, Output 0.45mV, Compliance is not listed. $4500 and you get a two week trial period. Neat.  http://mockingbirddistribution.com/mutech-cartridges/

The distributor happens to be my set up guy and I was glad to give this a go with an industry accommodation price as a bonus. My previous cart was the well regarded Kiseki Purple Heart. The Mutech was quite nice through my Allnic 1202, I will eventually have SoundSmith retip it as I did with the Kiseki(I am currently using a retipped Air Tight Opus 1 which I prefer but has a MSRP almost 4 times as great). My impression was of a very dynamic cartridge that was fun to listen to. Your impressions may vary.

Just discovered this cartridge during my vacation in Korea. Mounted on a Kuzma 4 Point, with Allnic SUT & phono stage it was just pure bliss… We were able to compare with the Dynavector DV1-t and a Koetsu Onix. The Mutech just sounded right, organic with this uncanny sense of depth.
 

I was’t aware of this brand before but just ordered one to my local French dealer for Mutech, I can’t wait to pick it up next week and try it out at home. Any owners or previous owners who can share some recommendations in terms of resistance loading and VTA?

@habermas The reviewer I referenced earlier in this thread is based in Aachen, you might be not too distant neighbours ? This individual might be worth sharing a communication with to broaden your base information, as the Cart' is a New Discovery to you.
