Miyabi 47 cartridge: How many hours does it last ?

Hi Gilles, I heard about this MLC-1 but was confused because of Levinsons involment. So I thought that 'Cello' is the same as MLC-1. To add to the confusion there seems to be also the Klipsch version of 'the same' cart. To comfort or reassure my friend Syntax I need to mention that there are some differences between 'his' and 'my' Miyabi Standard : 0,2 versus 0,25 mV and 2 Ohm versus 4 Ohm in the 'his'- 'my' order. The 47 labs I would never buy because of the (plastic)looks, not to mention the performance.

Maybe one could think of the "duck" that quacks in a different way. It is similar in that it is a persona that is representative, but not true to the underlying flow of energy. As it has been said elsewhere, this master designer Takeda did something very unique and special for his favorite child, Standard.

The rest of these ducks, nice ones; however, that is marketing.

Mostly Fun,

Dear Stich, I wish that I invented this different 'quacks'.
But the basic proposition was that they 'quack' in the same way as they look. I thought about to promote Syntax specimen to a better looking duck but was confronted with the same 'logical' problem because they are 'per definition' looking the same. So I give up verbal diferentiation and used numerical kind. But, alas, those are never funny. BTW who cares about difference between 0,2 and 0,25 mV or 2 Ohm versus 4 Ohm? However the price difference may still hurt.

Nandric, the mlc-1 is a low compliance cartridge, designed by nakamichi but built by miyabi. The cello is the same weight but is high compliance (the sound is first class)(review by hifi choice)
Syntax ,my post was to show that miyabi cartridge can be re tipped without problem and are built to last.
Last week i was tempted by a zyx universe with more than 1000 hours so i contacted Roberto Torlai in Italy and he said me that if there were problems inside the cartridge it was impossible to repair, so i stay away.

Hi Nandric,

Really, Syntax is a duck?

Ah, numbers, good! Yes, those all look to be close enough and most likely within the statistical variation of error when dealing with an art form instead of a science, ha!

I am happy that this cartridge of yours was promoted to the number one team!

Fun Mostly,

Stitche
