Miyajima Madake
Now that I have my Tri-planar tone arm, I ask for recommendations for a new cartridge.
I am thrilled with my new Tri-planar tone arm. It completes my analog rig incredibly so.
A Woodsong Garrard 301, Atma-Sphere MP-3 phono stage. Currently using a very nice Mayijima Shalabi.
I am relatively new to analog and, mostly, I know that the Japanese seem to be on top of the cartridge game.
Thinking of upgrading to the $5K price point. I listen to a lot to vocals, Classical and Jazz. Am certainly open to recommendations.

Industry disclosure: I'm a Miyajima dealer. Interesting, maybe you can help, in another thread I asked people about Otono-Edison Standard Mature Wood MC As you may know the Miyajima is an export brand of Otono-Edison. In Japan the Mature Studio BE/SW equal to OP's Miyajima Shilabe. |
You should learn a bit about new Cross-Ring Coil Design which is a Miyajima patent. Bamboo cantilever is another exclussive. The OP got his Shilabi, there are at least 2 steps up (Kansui and Madake). They are all assembled in hardwood body, different type of wood for different models. It’s a modern cartridge, but what a cartridge! I got Kansui and all reviewers are crazy about this model, Madake is next. |
