I'm just wondering if anyone has heard this cartridge.

I was planning on getting a "My Sonic Lab - Signature Gold MC Cartridge" and then a friend of mine mentioned Tedeska.

I'd be curious about AnaMighty Sounds 'Sculpture A' 103 reworks for your application as well...

I'm sure it's a fine sounding cart but it's specs don't work with my preamp.
The reason my friend put me onto Tedeska is because they make custom carts. He knows that my phonostage and tonearm severely limit my choice of cartridges. The My Sonic Lab, checks almost all the boxes though.

I have the mono DT101 L. This Fantastic cart made me rediscover my beloved mono records. It is incredible. Service is top. Artisan maker is a professional classical musician, of course a music lover.
Thöress, manufacturer of famed tube electronics made me discover them, telling me he never heard better mono carts. I never had heard of them until that.
At that time I was thinking about Miyajima cart, but changed my mind and took the plunge. I’m absolutely delighted with the sound quality. And when time will come for a rebuild it won’t cost me 60% of the cost, far from it.

I'd be interested to hear impressions of Tedeska's mono cartridges vs Miyajima's.

« Me too » (speaking only of hifi …). They are in the same price range, so it would be interesting, but there’s not that many audiophiles who have multiple tonearms, one being dedicated to mono.
It’s a pity because good mono recordings have something very special when you listen. When I ordered mine, it was my first mono cart and I couldn’t have thought it would be that good.

A bit OT - I have tried various mono cartridges - e.g. SPU Mono, Miyajima Premium BE and non have impressed. They were OK, but my stereo cartridges always sounded better, if on a mono reissue or a mono original pressing.
Only when I've got the Miyajima Infinity did I "discover" the pros of a mono cartridge over stereo one.
