Best cartridge for Breuer 8C tonearm

Hello Clabe

I also have the Breuer like you and I have used the Dynavector XV-1s, but I really do not think it is ideal for the the Breuer. I have a Miyabi 47 that I will try once my new sound room is complete.
Thomas of TW is/was very happy with the Allearts cartridges on his Breuer, and Jeff of High Water Sound likes the Ortofon Cadenza Black with his Breuer. The Ortofon is relatively affordable too. Jeff also said the Miyabi Stadard works well on the Breuer.

Dear Clabe: I like the XV-1s over the PC-1 but I agree with Pcosta not good match for the Breuer.

The VdH Colibri is very good and good match for that tonearm.

Now, these humble MM/MI cartridges are very good too and can/could work fine with the Breuer, are a lot better that what you or its low price could tell you or imagine, worth and " fun " to try it:

Hi Guys!
Thanks to your response I´m now able to narrow my search considerably on MC cartridges.
Pcosta, since we have same type of Breuer and you mention Miyabi (which I´ve also considered) is definitely on my list.
I´ve heard that Miyabi Standard/47 is not produced anymore?
My second thought is on Jan Allaerts MC1 Boron.
Ortofon....hmm

Many Thanks!

I just had my Miyabi rebuilt from Mr.Takeda of Miyabi in Japan and I received it in Feb/10. So if he stopped building cartridges it is news to me. Perhaps contact Sakura Systems for more info. I do know they are difficult to get in a timely manner.
Thomas and another friend use the Allaerts and are very pleased with them.

Pcosta!
I will try contact Sakura Sytems.
There was an ad in Europe on Miyabi 47, seller told me "you can´t by these new anymore" after rejecting his offer.
How much did you pay for rebuilt and what does it entail, could be interesting if I want a second hand.

Many Thanks!
