Yes, I have the MC5B in my system. Initial impression is extremely open mid-range, as good or maybe better than my Koetsu. Not fully run in yet though.
Actually I have been a member since 2000 but it never occured to me to post before, and it didn't occur to me that no-one would be interested in the cartridge, only about the intentions behind the post. There's something special about the cartridge but I am just listening to it and will maybe try others in the range. If anyone is interested please email me directly, I really don't want to offend anyone by posting more details here.

I managed to buy one of these cartridges for myself (not easy, I don't read chinese and relied on Babelfish).
Just installed my MC5B in a freind's LP12 and his comment was "I'm hearing notes on my records I haven't heard before" and he wants to buy it from me right away.
Hopefully we will get the MC5 (bare) version and the very special - at least from the description - MC30, customized to perfectly match my Superline and ARO, to try in about a month. Will report back here.
