Dear Frank: I own the Rex9, that is the second from the top, and is a great performer.
It is not an easy cartridge for the set-up ( not with any tonearm ) and needs a very good Phonolinepreamp not only because is a very low output but because only with the right Phonolinepreamp we can appreciate the " greatness " of this cartridge.

Recomended!!!!

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Frank: I buy mine through a Hong-Kong dealer who tell me that the REX9 like him a little more over the top of the line or at least he don't find price justified against quality sound reproduction.

Please e-mail me. I will try to find that dealer and share with you the info.

Btw, I know the very high quality of your JP80 but I have some doubts not only about gain but noise level to handle the Ikeda cartridges.

Regards and enjoy the music.
