The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa

A Lino C 2.0 + ZYX Ultimate 100 ( impedance 4 ohm ) is my current setup. The adjustable gain is set at +12db which achieves approximately 75 db with the 4 ohm input. Rob at Channel D had cautioned that using the highest gain may cause distortion due to overload margin. However, as I am also using a Lightspeed Passive Attenuator, I need all the help I can get in the gain department. My sense is that with my setup, an impedance of 4 ohm is really the upper limit of MC cartridge choices. 

I have therefore been extremely interested in low impedance MC's, My Sonic Labs, Transfiguration, Lyra.... and of course Mutech. I think Mutech makes part for Transfiguration and it uses parts from My Sonic Labs. While I am not in a position to upgrade or acquire a new cartridge right now,  I am especially interested in Mutech. It seems that the RM-Kanda Hyabusa is an export model, while the RM-Kanda is the top of the line retailing at $6,000. But with impedance or 2 ohm, it should work very with the Lino C. 

The present setup with the Lino C and Lightspeed Passive Attenuator is on paper diametrically opposite to my previous rig, MFA Luminescence A2. Both Fremer and the TAS reviewer called the Lino on the warm side of neutral. However, for me coming from a decade of listening to tube euphoria, the Lino is dead neutral. Or to put it another way, I did not know what neutral sounded like until I heard the Lino. The soundstage is perhaps not as wide as the Lumi, but everything with the stage is very well organized. The placement of instruments is very precise. Likewise, the bass is  not as powerful, but not as boomy as well.
what the Lino has taught me is that I like both vintage and ‘modern’ sound. Both are equally valid and enjoyable ways of presenting music. Instead of selling the Lumi, I have decided to send it back to Scott Frankland for a full update sometime in the future.
One problem I am experiencing with the Lino concerns the tonearm. The Trans Fi Terminator in use has bare wires going from cartridge leads to the phono preamp. It is unshielded. And proper cable shielding is very important in order to trigger the battery charging. Rob has given me pointers to make a twisted pair of bare wires which I have yet to implement. For the time being, I have to disconnect my tonearm cable after each listening session. I doubt this would be an for most arms.
@mijostyn  Of the cartridges you mentioned above, the Air Tight is most probably not for the Terminator arm. 

Let me preface by saying that the Terminator replaced a SME V and it was not even close. Now the SME V is not a Schroeder, but for the Terminator to outperform a veteran arm is, to me, impressive. And I also plead guilty to not appreciating many of the finer technical points in question. But the observation of lateral swaying of a linear tracker was one of the issues that concerned me when I started with the Terminator. As I have posted on my Terminator forum, recent experimentations on surge and soothing tanks have yielded tremendous sonic benefits. One of the physical manifestation of increased air flow regulation is...... almost no swaying. I observe perhaps less than 1mm right to left movement. At least on this particular 'defect' of a linear tracker, a solution has been found to overcome it.
The Terminator is a thousand dollar arm! Everything that has been suggested for comparison is in the 5x to 10x category. I would say that the Terminator is an over-achiever, regardless of tonearm type, and leave it at that.

But back to the OP, in re-reading the other posts, the Hyabusa was compared to the top-of-the-line MSL. I would love to hear more testimonies and observations from users, please!
