The fact that they don't just name the profile might be copyright or something like that I guess. It's kind of a next level cartridge for me although I'd probably be comparing it to the Nagaoka MP500. I really enjoyed the MP-110 but since moving to Shibata type profiles I notice it seems a bit veiled.
One problem I have is running 2 decks I have to have 2 carts, 2 phono stages etc. doubling the cost.
With my setup 150-200pf is easy enough to achieve. The original permanently fixed technics phono cable supposedly comes out somewhere around this figure.

they call it an an type 2, which appears to be a vdh type 1, which is confusing as all fuck.
it is really good. it is marginally better that the omp40 with the fg2 (i think), but seems to track a lot better. probably just a better match to the tonearm. id does like to see 150-200pf, though, which can be a pain in the jocks, depending on your phono stage.
the arkless, is excellent. surprised me at how good it was. i bought it for fuck all on a whim, from a bloke that said it was damaged and got him to send it to arkless, who said the bloke was just using adc power supply, instead of ac - result!
