Luxman releasing a MC cart in Japan

Hi , i bought from Raul his LMC1, is a very good cartridge, I use it with an Entre et100 SUT using the 3 ohms setting and an ARC ph3 phonostage and have more than enough gain no problem. According to vinyl engine and to what Raul mentioned me it has a diamond cantilever and not a saphire one as mentioned by edgewear.  https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_database.php?m=Luxman&mod=lmc1&t=mc&sort=2&Sea...=

Well, so much the better. Some sellers advertise diamond, some sapphire, so I assumed the latter. Should have mentioned both.

While checking the info on the web I noticed that the LMC-1 is also being described as a rebadged version of the Sony XL-MC7, which does look a bit similar. Elsewhere it's suggested that the Madrigal Carnegie One was also derived from the Sony. For what it's worth.

Dear @cardani  : Yes and I miss it but it's best in your hands playing that seated in a box at my place. I'm still own many top quality performers cartridges, as the LMC-1

Dear @edgewear : No, the Carnegie one as the very good Carnegie 2 were designed by two very well regarded cartridge manufacturers, was a collaboration in between: Benz-Micro and VDH.

The Carnegie 2  is really good but the One it's not.
