Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges

I want to clarify the company Sensitive  Sound.
Roman Lebedev is the project manager.
This guy graduated from one of the five branch departments of the Moscow State Technical University. N.E.Bauman, created on the basis of large industrial enterprises.

After graduation, he worked in several foreign companies in the USA, Japan, in the field of instrumentation.

At the same time, analog sound reproduction was a passion!

Excellent labs and test conditions for testing any MC cartridges and in my spare time I listened, repaired and tested cartridges for friends, it was a hobby.

By occupation, in 2000 it grew into a professional activity. I met several manufacturers of hand-assembled MC cartridges in Japan, learned and saw how legendary MC cartridges are created and what philosophy of sound is contained in each product.

Basically this is a proven vintage circuit with standard materials that works great!

I have always been drawn to find something special, my own.
Forms of materials, referring to various technical literature, began to study materials science, magnetic properties of various materials, their application and resonance frequency .

Work in scientific activity, writing a thesis on the magnetic properties of metals and alloys.

In 2018, Sensitive Sound in Germany received the Prize of the Year for the research and application of magnetic materials in MC cartridge generators.

And throughout this time, acquaintance with different manufacturers of High End equipment, a lot of work, analysis and testing of new materials, processing technologies used for MC cartridges.
Manufacturers from Japan, Austria, England, USA.

Company Sensitive sound
Equipped with precision CNC 5 D machine tools.

All measurement methods are performed on the world's most accurate measuring complex Brüel & Kjær.

Work and collaboration in the field of research of iron-nickel meteorites, Institute of Metals-Yekaterinburg, Optical Mechanical Plant.

Work is also underway to conduct an independent forensic review for those affected by grey dealers in the MC cartridge market.

The best MC cartridge repair service in Europe was organized using factory reset!

Almost every year and at different times, representatives of Japan come to exchange experiences, meet and communicate.

We are all manufacturers of various devices for listening to music and are familiar with each other.

Today, the company Sensitive Sound, 20 years of experience in research and work in the field of MC cartridges and the most high-tech enterprise for the production of MC cartridges using modern technologies and materials, such as gold-enamel wire, platinum-cobalt magnets.

Many people think that creating a great MC cartridge is easy and simple!

No!!! Years of many days of effort and trials, victories and disappointments, sleepless nights and patience-this is the only way SOUND is born!


     
   I want to express my gratitude to all of you, and God bless you.

I want to clarify the company Sensitive Sound.
Roman Lebedev is the project manager.
This guy graduated from one of the five branch departments of the Moscow State Technical University. N.E.Bauman, created on the basis of large industrial enterprises.

So Mr. Roman Lebedev is not you, good to know.

I met several manufacturers of hand-assembled MC cartridges in Japan, learned and saw how legendary MC cartridges are created and what philosophy of sound is contained in each product.

Interesting, can you mention some names ? Just curious.

The best MC cartridge repair service in Europe was organized using factory reset!

Do you mean Sensitive Sound retip/repair service in Russia or some other service in Europe?

There are many repair services in Europe such as VdH, Expert Stylus & Co., Northwest Analogue just to name a few quite famous.

Almost every year and at different times, representatives of Japan come to exchange experiences, meet and communicate.

We are all manufacturers of various devices for listening to music and are familiar with each other.

What devices are you talking about if it’s not a top secret ? Any specific brands maybe?

I don’t understand your irony!
Or are you sure that the best pickups are created and made by Gods ?!

I don’t believe in God. I must admit It was a bad start for someone of you who posted here on audiogon yesterday under a different name, trying to demonstrate "deep knowledge" to some of us by making some blank statements about some other cartridge designers. About 4 years ago same Russian person discussed Axel’s refurbished Technics cartridges with me on ebay in the same manner. I remember that quite well.

Today, the company Sensitive Sound, 20 years of experience in research and work in the field of MC cartridges and the most high-tech enterprise for the production of MC cartridges using modern technologies and materials, such as gold-enamel wire, platinum-cobalt magnets.

Many people think that creating a great MC cartridge is easy and simple!

So the most high-tech MC cartridge manufacturer located in Yekaterinburg, Russia? Shocking news for the rest of the world, they may never heard about it :(

I thought it’s Reto Adreoli in Switzerland ? Here is a rare interview with him.

Anyway, I think most of us judging by price vs. performance. Exotic materials and unique patents are not always the key to a perfect sound, unfortunately, but always the reason for higher price.

However, it’s nice when a manufacturer (cartridge designer) can personally explain many technical aspects right on this forum. At the moment there is nothing to read, except for a good press release.

If you personally retipped/refurbished many cartridges in your "best in Europe" repair shop could you please recall some proper cartridges that you like. Something that inspired you to create your own. Would be nice to read some brands/models (or maybe cartridge designers from the past or present).

I understand you perfectly, you have hurt your pride and lost faith in humanity, this sensitive sound company from Russia! (

Your arrogance and cynicism go beyond all bounds to show the whole community!
Sensitive Sound sells its products to almost all countries of the world. For more information, visit the manufacturer's website in the Dealers section.

This is more news for you than for the global community.
Maybe you just don't like the analog theme?!

But just a collector or collector of vintage cartridges, and it is very valuable, but only for you.
I could answer all your questions about the magnificent old and modern cartridges , what is the difference, about my know-how and measurement methods,
Soon there will be several articles in scientific journals in England and the USA about measurement methods, frequency characteristics, detonations, emerging resonances and distortions, cartridges systems, tonearms, turntables. and also about what inspires me, but to be honest, I'm not going to do it ... I don't like you as a conversationalist.

I don't want to waste time and get into an argument with a man who is on a submarine and hasn't even seen or heard what he's trying to talk about here!
This topic is closed to you!

P.S.  If a person claims something because they have experienced it firsthand and were personally involved in what they are talking about, then there is something in it, and it is stupid to ignore it.

But if your point of view is based on fantasies and guesses, you have accepted it on faith and believe it to be true, then this point of view is not a reason to defend it with foam at the mouth.

Therefore, any point of view that is not based on your own life experience, personal feelings, experience, or even a taste test may be wrong.
If you disagree with someone else's opinion and experience, go your own way and see how thorny that path is.
