The best TT system for under 30K

@whart @terry9 @lalitk and many other I cannot mention here, in the spirit of more positive posts here is my choice for cartridge which the dealer have on stock:

- Miyajima Kansui it is what currently fitted and the dealer is willing to sell that to me at 60% discount from RRP. He will even let me to bring my microscope to inspect the needle (any pointers on how to inspect?)
- Miyajima Madake used once for a weekend long in a 2019 home audio show for 40% off RRP
- Miyajima Destiny brand new with 30% discount because I bought the whole set from him
- Linn Krystal brand new for $1300 nett

I am leaning towards the demo Kansui or the used once Madake for the keeper and Linn Krystal for me to learn with.

@uwiikz-- I too was involved in several different Internet chat groups, reflecting an array of interests. From them, I actually made a few friends in real life.
At its best, these boards serve a function beyond answering technical questions, or providing needed "how to" info -- there is a sense of shared community, a bond that exists among the members that goes beyond their common interest in a particular subject. There was a member here who recently passed away, and everyone said the same thing-- he was knowledgeable and never foolish, and never engaged in mud slinging. I think he was well loved because he was knowledgeable and always took the high road,   
As to legal claims, the Internet and the like:
I am a lawyer- I practiced in NYC for 34+ years, specializing in copyright. I had a fair amount of involvement in the Internet early on in some of the foundational cases and beyond.  I also helped a well-known board focused on Ferraris gratis because I liked the board and some of the folks who were regulars there- I will tell you there were some great people there, and some who were...well, not so great.  It could be a mosh pit sometimes. 
My best advice to you is simply to let it go and move on. Illegitimi non carborundum.

There is a dealer in NZ named Jason Parmenter who I haven't spoken with in years, but we shared some interest in the same gear. 
Stay in touch and let us know of your adventures. You can always start a new thread about cartridges, arm adjustments, etc. as you progress. 

@whart you, @terry9 , @lalitk are the reason I decided to stick around in this forum. My deepest appreciation to you folks. 

About the wonderful member who recently passed away, was it Dan (Jdandy)? I read a lot of his posts on the other forum and yes he is one hell of a guy. I cannot help feeling sad when I read through his thousands of posts, what a journey. From the old time when he still have his wife Marlene, her passing and eventually Dan’s own passing. Although I am new I cannot help feeling sad reading all about it. 

@uwiikz, looks like you did it all yourself.

You found the dealer, you found the bargain, you identified the cartridges. And made good decisions.

All you needed to know was, "In the light of experience, does this make sense?" The answer was overwhelmingly, "Yes." Well done you.

I would listen carefully to the Kansui at the dealer's and ask him to mount the Mandake while you watch him, make notes, and ask questions. Then choose the one you prefer - but err on the side of smooth - don't go for sizzle. Sizzle gets wearing, as you are doubtless aware.
