    For Sale - Miyajima Kansui like new

    On a whim today I bought a Ortofon MC Anna cartridge. Need to liquidate and free up space elsewhere.

    I have two Miyajima Kansui cartridges with less than 10 hours on either. Will sell for $2,400 each. That is a 1/3 off for a basically brand new cartridge. Can have local dealer verify fact it is perfect with just a few hours on it. Any interest?

    Should work well..... let us know I'm in the process of auditioning Phono Stages.... Just had the Allnic 3000V and Head Amp combo here for demo. IMHO, thought the CJ/Ypsilon combo was better. I have two more phono stages in the works to demo we'll see how it goes.

    How well do you think kansui would work on basis vector 4 arm?

  15. #15

    Re: For Sale - Miyajima Kansui like new

    Hello. I owned the Vector 4 when I had a basis 2000. Great arm. Like the Graham Phantom it can handle any cartridge. I went from entry level Benz to the heavy LP-S. No issues.

    Care to comment which one you like the best, and how they differ from one another.

    Well, I hate to sound like JV, (I have a lot of sympathy for his job even if I rarely agree with him). What exactly do you say about a product that's an order of magnitude better than anything else you've experienced? The Ortofon Anna is just awesome. I'll have to hear something better before I can begin to find fault with it. There are others that can compare with the Clearaudio Goldfinger or Lyra Atlas. I have not had either in my system

    The Proteus is a nice piece. Anything I say about it will sound harsh because I'm comparing to the Anna. The price is right on it. IMHO it is better than say a comparably priced Benz LP-S. Myles has a review coming... know he likes it a lot too.

    Hope that helps.... We need a young HP to do one of his old style cartridge surveys, lots of good ones out there, maybe even a great one....

    Frank Kuzma makes great gear. Best thing about him is all of it performs.... .you don't have to buy top of the line. The XL4 is the elder statesman of my system (6 Years+). I try not to make changes unless they are a significant improvement. Lots of interesting turntable designs out in the last 6 years. Nothing has moved out the Kuzma.

    BTW, I use my XL4 sitting on a Minus K isolation platform, big thumbs up for the combo.
