Does anybody have an opinion of these two, having heard both? Two are on sale in my local area and I have kind of zeroed in on these two for an upgrade of my Shelter 901. Table is a SOTA Cosmos and SME V.
I agree with David that the HFs on the Kansui are its weakness. I find them a touched laid back and closed-in, even through the SUT, but not exactly unnatural or disconnected. With resistor loading that was more true, IME.
Sorry for slightly off-topic question I would ask about Miyajima Kansui performance versus ZYX 4D Premium if the preamp is ZYX CPP-1 Pre-Pre. In other words do you thin ZyX CPP-1 pre-pre is correct for Kansui?
I believe Zyx and Dynavector are on the same side and zyx cpp-1 pre-pre is amazing for zyx and other cartridges i have.
I ended up with the XV-1s. I'll mount this weekend. Heard it at the seller's house. Seemed a little polite and reserved but I'll have to hear it in my system.
