Hi Raul, I forgot to mention that I also use one MM cartridge which is the Empire EDR9. I bought it after reading your thread. It is nice but it doesnt beat the top MCs in my system. Possibly I dont have the right tonearm for it. The 47 Labs tonearm is a medium-high mass so the MM carts dont like it. The 47 Labs is very good with cartridges with compliance between 5 to 12. I am surprised how good the Denon 103 anniversary sounds on this tonearm.
Miyabi Red Rose anyone heard ?
Has anyone heard this variant of Miyabi cartridge ? It was made by Takeda San for Red Rose (Mark Levinson) and supposedly one of the latest cartridge made by Takeda San. The specs of this cartridge is as follows:
Output voltage: .24 mv (1kHz)
Source impedance of coils: 4 ohms
Head amplifier: 1000 ohms
Recommended load impedance:
Step -up transformer: 4 ohms
Frequency response: 20Hz ~ 40 kHz +/- 1 dB
Channel separation: 25 dB @ 1 kHz +/- 1 dB
Cartridge mass: 13g
Compliance: 8.5 X 10 6 cm dyne
Recommended stylus pressure: 1.7 ~ 2.0g
Stylus design: 8 x 40ยต line contact
Magnet type: Alnico
From specs it looks very similar to the Miyabi Standard cartridge but how does it actually compare to the standard ? Anyone had the opportunity to audition this cart ?
