Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"?

Hi all! - I am trying a cartridge that raised the bar in my conception of analog reproduction, the "Mantis" is keeping me awake rediscovering my entire vinyl... but I have found not too much information on this South African jewel.

I will appreciate any word regarding this marvel and help me in my investment decision.

Thanking in advance.

Davidss - what version of the Mantis are you using? I have a ruby/blackwood
one.

My Mantis is a Tulip Wood (might be the only one) and it has the aluminium cantilever. You can see photos on The Vinyl Engine - look in the gallery section and search for my user name (same as here) or in the Blue Angel gallery. You don't need to be logged in to do this.

I love it, best cart I've owned and seems quite at home on my Micro Seiki BL51 with a Stax UA7 arm I bought here on Audiogon.
