| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Chosenhandle - I recall one dealer in the US who had at least one stock Mantis. I got to him thru Google but did not take the precaution to save his URL. I will try again and, if I found them, will post his info here.Fernando | |

| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Axel - just for curiosity, would you consider selling to me your 3 5k cartridge? (you can answer me privately if you wish).Raul - your note left me speechless and I really can't tell where that agressiveness came from. I enjoy the music but also m... | |
| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Indeed!I am glad that your MI cartridge is giving you that level of musical satisfaction Axel - Raul and some other guys down here are also experimenting great results with inexpensive cartridges (MM and MI designs).I ended up paying @ $2,200 usd ... | |
