Differences : PC-1/Titan i / Miyabi Standard-& 47

Hi Syntax!
Totally agree with you. This is a forum for sharing/exchanging experiences and also your personal thoughts. Even though we don´t always agree we should respect and not criticize because he/she doesn´t have same opinion as me. I´m honoured to be able to participate, I´ve got many god ideas and suggestions. This is what it´s all about, to be able to help each other. I live in Sweden and rarely have the chance to auditioning equipment at home or even at the dealer. So I look for references in magazines and now here at Audiogon thanks to Internet.

BTW I´ve been thinking about the Standard before getting PC-1 but was unable to audition at a dealers place before purchase.

Hello Claes-Goeran,
the Miyabi Standard is not really in the "Focus" today. it is the only cartridge which survived everything I had here for about 8 years. It stills runs strong and it has a kind of life inside which does not need any complicated Phonostages to bring the best.
But I also knew owners who were not able to hear its unique Performance, they were looking for something additional, for example dominant Bass, Speed or other artifacts.
I bought it 3x and my spare was always bought from visitors after listening :-) here.
One of the very best carts today, which deliver the expectations in the name "High End" (or my thinking about it).

I don't know about Miyabi. If your system need a lot of warmt, than go with PC1. Titan i is more neutral with better transient and ultimately would go further in the right system.

Thanks Guys!
Myiabi or Titan, definitely needs auditioning.
I have a tubed system so maybe a more detailed cartridge
will equal up in sound.

Have a nice day!
