Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"?


Hi all! - I am trying a cartridge that raised the bar in my conception of analog reproduction, the "Mantis" is keeping me awake rediscovering my entire vinyl... but I have found not too much information on this South African jewel.

I will appreciate any word regarding this marvel and help me in my investment decision.

Thanking in advance.

for what it's worth, I was getting ready to pick up a new cartridge and emailed the maker of the blue mantis for a price and options. He responded that he is too busy to take on new business. When asked if he would entertain new business in the future, he did not give me a clear answer as to when I could inquire.

Too bad, I was kind of looking forward to ordering one.
Axel;

Thanks for your input. Other than the german ebay cartridge seller (forgot his name), do you have other sources for that cartridge?

I am going to email the mantis builder again in a few months and politely ask for some guidance as to when or if I can request a price quotation.
