Spotted A JVC X1 MK2 Cartridge Seem To Be Well Regarded

Was cruising around the web and was looking for interesting cartridges. Spotted the JVC on audio-markt.de and thought I would try to get a bit more info. Seems like these are well thought of and looks like they use a beryllium hollow tube cantilever and line contact stylus. 

Anyone know any more info or history on these?

They are ok - but I would not buy one ( I own one ) since there are no stylus replacements available any more. Unless it is brand new ( unused ) then it is likely to have had stylus wear.

Get a new Grado, Nagaoka or Soundsmith if you want a MM/MI.

The Grado's are best bang for your buck.
