Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10


I have mounted an Exclusive EA-10 on my Micro (I added a pic to my system), one of the most expensive Japanese tonearms, maybe a little underrated. The tonearm and the tubes are re-wired by Ikeda silver wire. The EA-10 reminds me very much of the Max 282, most properly it was built by Micro Seiki. Does anybody know if this is true?

Dear Raul,

I went from Monte Alban to Villahermosa, Tuxtla Gutlierrez and took a boat ride on the Canon de Sumidero, did not reach the lovely beaches of Oaxaca. Next was Palenque, all the way north to Merida, Uxmal and Puerto Morelos.

Huatulco`s Harbors is a now scheduled destination !!!

Greetings!
Considering purchase of Exclusive EA10 tonearm. Like to ask for opinions, preferably from those with actual experience, about synergy with my cartridges. Have a Grace F9 Ruby (non-Soundsmith), Technics EPC-405c, and a Victor X1II. Look forward to your insightful replies.
Grace and Victor should be fine. I have NOS styli for both of them if you need a backup.

BUT If you want something special for this Pioneer tonearm then look for Pioneer PC-1000 mkII cartridge, it was the best MM cartridge from Pioneer ever. Very rare model. I like this cartridge very much. Beryllium cantilever.
Dear @askye : It depends if the one you can buy comes with two arm wands: and S shape and straigth one where this is for high compliance cartridges as the ones you own it. The S shape can works too using low weigth headshells.

The best alternative is to find out the MAX 282 that comes with 3 arm wands: two straigth ones with different effective mass and one J shaped. I really like the MAX 282 that's a very well damped design.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
