Miyabi retipper...

I held off retipping mine for the longest time but eventually suspension went so magic was gone. I thought of sending it to Soundsmith but from what I have heard from them I had the feeling that their house sound is not to my taste. So... When I needed my Troika rebuilt I asked Daivd over at the Goldring if he would give it a shot. He has done a marvelous job rebuilding the Troika so I thought why not... Knowing I will never get the same voice back from the M47. Apparently its magic is in its suspension and noone could reverse engineered is what Yoshi told me.

I am surprised that you changed the cantilever to Ruby. I kept its aluminum cantiliver and Alinico magnet in tact. I lived with Miyabi47 for many years and never sounded analytical. That's not in M47's DNA.

Never heard the Miyabi Standard. It was just too heavy for my arm. The only Miyabi made cartridge I have heard was Mofi Cabon cartridge. A nice cartridge with spacious midrange but was lacking dynamics and jump compared to the M47.
