Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges

I have a bias so won’t comment much more, however:
@chakster don’t dig it? Cool. But it’s a bit rash to make negative assertions on a product you have NEVER seen. What you see from pictures is (for the large frame carts) a magnet array and a field stabilization element. Yep others do it to. And?

@audite84, I just pissed my audio allowance away on Sound Labs 845's,
a Sota Cosmos Eclipse Vacuum and a Schroder CB, an finally M2Tech USB to SPDIF adapter with external clock and power supply. A new cartridge is not in the mix for another year or two. Certainly I am all in for more cartridges. The more the merrier. But there are so many great cartridges out there that are proven that I would love to try.

Mijo, That there is some hefty audio allowance you got.  Do you have enough left over for a milkshake at the drugstore?  You previously mentioned that your new "turntable" (without at that time mentioning what you were buying) was going to cost you $19K.  I gather that is the price of  a new Sota Cosmos Eclipse Vacuum or does that also include the Schroeder tonearm?  Nice rig.  Would $19K have gotten you at least close to a used Dohmann Helix, maybe without tonearm?

Cartridges are not the same if you know a little bit about cartridge design, some cartridges are unique and i can recall many unique cartridges. Respectful designers do not copy other cartridges, even the way it look. I collect cartridges and have more than 60 different models of very rare high-end cartridges (all types).


Great Russian cartridges, tonearms, turntables .... what are you talking about? Is that a bad dream or what? I live in Russia. This is the last country in the world when it comes to phono cartridges! Who is that guy? 

My advice: do not buy it!

You can find some amazing cartridges made in Japan and you can be sure that if you need service it will be first rate service in Japan via distributor.

In America look for SoundSmith cartridges!

If this thread is not an ad of unknown Russian cartridges I don’t understand your enthusiasm.

This thread started with me soliciting for others' experiences of the Sensitive Sound cartridges, because I got curious after reading a review and would like to get one. Thank you for your posts. However, we have shifted to another direction here which does not really help the main question. Quoting Jeremy Clarkson, I would say, "And with that terrible disappointment, it's time to end."
