Luxman releasing a MC cart in Japan


For the first time in 40 years Luxman is releasing in March the LMC-5 MC cart. The last carts Luxman made was in 1981 the LMC-1 and 1982 the LMC-2. It has a Shibata Diamond needle. Price 230,000 yen convert that to USD about $2100. Curious did anyone use the Luxman LMC-1 or 2. What were they like?

Hi , i bought from Raul his LMC1, is a very good cartridge, I use it with an Entre et100 SUT using the 3 ohms setting and an ARC ph3 phonostage and have more than enough gain no problem. According to vinyl engine and to what Raul mentioned me it has a diamond cantilever and not a saphire one as mentioned by edgewear.  https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_database.php?m=Luxman&mod=lmc1&t=mc&sort=2&Sea...=
