Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm

@rauliruegas, @lewm 

Lew is having lots of fun also☺

Right now I am flabbergasted about how good is the Nagaoka MP500 that I also bought in Tokyo last May.  Don't know why it took me so long to mount it for an audition (in my Triplanar on my Denon DP80). To those who don't know, because many refer to it as an MM type, this is a Moving Iron cartridge.  MP stands for Moving Permalloy, which is a little confusing because permalloy is magnetizable. Anyway, this is yet another great MI cartridge.

What's this, Lew? Only just discovering it? It's a bloody wonder for the price.

Spare styli for it are cheapest at

Thanks for the link, @dogberry . I just ordered a couple for my MP50.

Big fan of MI cartridges. Own many of the great vintage ones but this is the first new cartridge I’ve purchased in a long time.
