Utilizing Miyajima Labs patented Cross-Ring design.  Known for their amazing realism, full analog sound and detail.  

Tracking Angle - By: Michael Fremer October 22nd, 2023
"... The $2999 Carbon is among the least costly Miyajima Labs cartridges and yet for my tastes it’s right near the top. The body is of Satine, an especially dense South American wood that’s popular with guitar manufacturers for acoustic guitar sides and backs and for fretboards on electric guitars, and gun and knife manufacturers where it’s used for handles.

The combination of dense wood, stiff cantilever and line contact stylus produces sound that combines speed and “punch” with sharp (but natural) transient response plus supple textures and a neutral overall tonal balance. The result is an agile-sounding cartridge that works well on rock and acoustic jazz and because it doesn’t neglect the supple musical core, is also pretty good with symphonic music but if your sonic aim is to move towards something on the warmer side, which would have been the now discontinued Miyajima Labs Takumi-L., you’ll have to look elsewhere.

The Carbon’s bottom octaves are particularly “punchy”, powerful and rock-solid. The test pressing of the upcoming UHQR Aja was particularly well-served by the Carbon, yet it also revealed the surprisingly soft sounding Pretzel Logic UHQR."
