Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges

It is fairly obvvious but just to mention:
The Splash/Art series are an easy match to most modern tonearms in terms of weight and compliance, however the two 'large frame' models ( Y12 and T8) really need a higher mass arm. Roman does use/ like the SME 3012 for these but it should be noted he uses the 1950's 3012 series 1, which is higher effective mass as compared to later variants.

My impression is that Sensitive Sound is a serious company. If you like, you can explore local Russian makes for us, such as Sensitive Sound and NewArtVinyl mentioned by Elliott.

It’s only your impression. Russia today is not a producer, Russia is a consumer. What they offer is Japanese parts assembled locally by someone you like to call a “company” @audit84
Regarding Elliott’s Russian tonearm it is another story: metal parts, bearings can be made locally, but for me it’s hard to understand why he like it, there are much better classic Japanese tonearms on the market. Regarding arms like Schroeder it is not good to compare high-end German machinery to Russian handmade. 

chakster Just to clarify a point from your post: The meteorite material referenced is not stone, it is metal, and used in the generator not the body. Its easy to research these metals. Also basically all high end cartridges are made by an ’enthusiast’ so that is a dubious point of contention. Even the big Japanese names are each built by one, or maybe a few artisans...

@solypsa The difference between Japanese or European cartridge designers and unknown Russian dude is reputation.

“Meteorit” in Russian language is a piece of other planet coming from the space. It’s a stone.

The meaning is the same in Wikipedia:

“A METEORITE is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon. When the original object enters the atmosphere, various factors such as friction, pressure, and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate energy. It then becomes a meteor and forms a fireball, also known as a shooting star or falling star; astronomers call the brightest examples "bolides".

@chakster
True, reputation building takes time. I agree with you on this point!
Regarding meteorite...Wiki 'iron meteorite'. Then you will see the general class we are talking about. From within this general class comes the material Roman has come to prefer. Nothing outrageous here...

For decades Soviet Hi-Fi was nothing but a very bad copy of well know Japanese and European Hi-Fi. We had a poorly made Soviet copy of Thorens, a copy of Technics and so on. We had simplified copy of well know speakers, radios, turntables, reel to reel ... everything.

Looking at SensitiveSound cartridges I see a little bit of Benz and Dynavector ... I see Linn in some other cartridges from SensiviteSound. In in terms of design they can't make their own without copying someone else. 

What is the reason to buy unknown Russian SensitiveSound when original Japanese and European cartridges with very strong reputation available from giants of the industry with 100 years of history or from an internationally renowned small manufacturers ?

Reviews? I’d like to ask @audite84 about his system and his cartridges first. Do you have some other cartridges ? Jelco TK-950S is your tonearm ?
