Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan

Raul, my pleasure, I have purchased both from Audiocubes2 and from JICO directly. I have a friend that also had good luck with EIFL.

Have bought from 2Juki several times- have never been disappointed.

Good Listening

I have bought from 2juki twice, and both times have worked out very well.

buying used carts is always a very delicate matter. I know that it became very popular in the MM arena. But regarding MC carts from my personal experiences I would be very careful with certain platforms in Japan like
otomon_vintage. Usally the are not operated by Japanese. Having lived in Japan I know the difference and how it works. Japanese are very honest and trustworthy people in general.
I would prefer 2Juki or TopClass Audio (both Hongkong based). I also made good experiences with other sellers in HKK and Australia and also with Joynetcafe in Japan. Hope this helps.

I've received two from 2juki and he is a very professional plus trustworthy person. Would purchase from again. Listening to my RP6 with GT ref sub platter and the AT 33PTG/II and could not be happier with the combo.
