The big characteristic of this cartridge used spine of the Japanese cactus to a cantilever. Like Madake cantilever, I think that the natural subject matter that is not metal makes a natural sound. I spend time for making the materials of the bamboo firmly thin very much. Spine of the cactus is sorted and is only cut. And Spine is attached to an exact base.
The stylus used the joining diamond needle of a thin aluminum cantilever of 0.5 millimeters in diameter. Saboten slightly has a lingering sound. Saboten lets you feel the sound that even a small audio system is rich in. Saboten is superior in the reproduction of a feeble sound.
Saboten is the cartridge which it is easy to use in a product of Miyajima-lab most.
The main body is lignum vitae said to be the world's hardest tree.
