What Mijo says may or may not be true of woodworking tools (that the Japanese "hoard" the best stuff for themselves), but I rather doubt it is true of audio-related products. First of all, what does the statement mean, that the Japanese select out the units that best meet specs and ship out the remainder of that production line to foreign markets, or that the Japanese make products superior to those they market to the world and deliberately withhold those products from the rest of the world? I see no evidence of the latter, at least.
Otono-Edison MC cartridges
As you may know the Miyajima is an export brand of Otono-Edison.
There is a line of Otono-Edison cartridges for Japanese market only.
Otono-Edison cartridge like "Standard Mature Wood" and just a "Mature Wood" updated with Skillfull and Technique model as I can see on the original Japanese site on needle replacement page (from the manufacturer).
The Mature Studio BE/SW equal to famous Miyajima Shilabe.
However, I need a manual for Otono-Edison Standard Mature Wood MC which is no longer in the list of cartridges here ***
Anyone can help with info about Standard Mature Wood cartridge ?
