There is no Japanese warm sound. Koetsu is Japanese and warmer. Then you have Lyra, Zyx and many others that are the opposite. And the majority of cartridges are made in Japan anyways. I would recommend a slightly warmer quality for your style of music. Dynavector maybe. Good drive. I’ve never personally heard a miyajima except for the mono. The other end Lyra, Zyx, etc. may lead to shorter listening sessions with rock music or anything less than nice sounding recordings.
Cartridge recomendation for Garard 301 and Ikeda IT-345CRI
Please recommend a cartridge for this set up. Budget is 2k range.
I like the "smooth with detail" types. Big and bold is good. Some interest in Ikeda and Miyajima cartridges.
I understand a SUT may be necessary.
Thanks.

Miyajima US distributor giving 7 day money back trial, who else can offer anything like that for a cartridge? Try it If I was buying full retail brand new in box, I would do just as you advise. My goal here is to get 3 or 4 candidates and wait for a deal. I am not in a hurry. I suspect the next 6 months will be a buyers market. Thanks for all the great advice. |
