Anyone Try a Mutech Hayabusa MC Cartridge with a Channel D Lino C Phono Stage


Has anyone tried the above combination and what do you think of the sonic presentation?

@rauliruegas thank you for your input on the Hyabusa but the cartridges you referenced are at least double the cost and wouldn’t it be a stretch to expect the same level of performance from the Hyabusa?

 

@mijostyn  the concern with Ultra Eminent Ex would be the gain, at the the Lino 0db setting the gain would be around 74db which would be too high I think.

My current phono is set for 64db which translates to between 12-1 o’clock at my listening level with that much gain at a guess this would drop to maybe 9 o’clock on my preamp.

 No I'm not referenced the Lyra ones that came from the reviewer, I just said that your Umami is good enough in those transientes response  in MUSIC, I listened in my  system and in that regards competes with top cartridges. Tha's all.

I have read Cartridge Reviews by Shakti for many years, I do sense there is a very reasonable account given from a person with a wealth of experiencing Analogue Systems and more importantly is quite familiar with items being discussed.

The Hayabusa is referenced on a few posts in this Thread in the Link.

@eaneverson That is the high gain setting. The MSL would be perfect. The more output the cartridge has the better the signal to noise ratio. Message Rob Robertson ( softsupport) at Channel D and ask.
