| Fidelity Research cartridges You should chose some other hobby . Say stamp collection (grin). I already collect records | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges @bukanova interesting, i know Nandric blame me, but my Ikeda 9 III still on the shelf along with FR64s + b60. I like the convenience of conventional cartridges like the FR7fz and Miyabi. It seems like cantileverless Ikeda is not so convenient? | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges Was it problematic to find fully working original sample?I use only original cartridges, all my FR and Ikeda are like new, fully original. I wouldn't do any rebuild of any special cartridges handcrafted by masters like Ikeda. I would rather find a... | |

| Need help finding a new phono stage. The goal of the Gold Note PH-10 is two independent phono stage in one box, each input can be set up for MM or MC with many load options and gain options. The most user friendly phono stage and fully adjustable. The different curves is a bonus, per... | |
| Need help finding a new phono stage. Look for JLTi phono stage or Gold Note PH-10 phono stage. | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges Ikeda-San passed away last year, find all his legendary cartridges here. There are 14 different versions of the cantileverless Ikeda 9 handmade by Isamu Ikeda himself. | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges @nandric FR-702. According to Syntax this oneis made for European market. I am also not sure about that butwell that this one has shorter cantilever than the rest. Probably refurbished sample if it’s shorter, just guessing @edgewear On visual ins... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges So I can't wait till I find whatever about this ''mysterious'' Takeda '' Ivory'' cart. Next to your impressive cart collection you also have many carts pictures so I hope also Ivory? @nandric this is the only Miyabi Ivory picture i can find.... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges I knew you will say it, hahasorry | |
| Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!! It never happens even with 40 years old vintage cartridges, they are properly made, not like new Ortofon. Honestly, i have changed the leadwires on so many carts, moving them from one headshell to another, they are all made in the 70's or in the 8... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges @edgwear I’d be interested to know if the cartridges Takeda built for other brands like Mark Levinson, Cello, Red Rose an Krell are identical to either of these three he produced under his own Miyabi banner.I own the Mark Levinson MLC-1, which as... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges If I am well informed Takeda-san made 3 carts thebest among them is called ''Miyabi Standard''. I have it too, but did not tried yet as my Miyabi MCA is a stunning performer. | |

| Fidelity Research cartridges Anything between 8 - 15 Hz is ok, it is not necessary to have 8Hz resonance freq, more like 10-12Hz in theory. The FR-64s and 64FX are two flagship models designed by Ikeda-San, both are perfect match for his flagship cartridges such as FR-7f and... |
