Is that an Elite prototype or pre-production arm ? I like the head shell wiring...
Regarding the cart...looks like another expenditure to contend with down the road..lol
Are you looking at the wire braiding close to the headshell? I saw that too...interesting....
My brother and I were listening to it and we agreed that compared to carts we own, this had Matsudaira like traits (AirTight, MY Sonic Labs).
Japanese MSRP Y780,000, in $ for a rough estimate take away two zeroes.
Output voltage is a stout .45mv Woohoo!
Yup it is the Elite Prototype with the Odin wiring.
Terminator Cart......Yeah! That's it!

I noticed that too Dre. I have no idea what DLC coating is.
Thanks Sean! That must be what's giving the cart the Terminator look.
Yo Mark, Terminator!
If this cartridge can really whoop some ass on the competition and at higher price points, I seriously think name 'Terminator' would be cool. I love the look of the cartridge!
I'm of the belief that when one gets to this cart territory it comes down to cart and arm matching and ultimately personal preference. As my preferences go, The Dynavector XV-1t, Atlas and Gold Finger Statement take the top tier of carts I own and my MY Sonic Ultra Eminent BC (EX in the US), A90 and Koetsu Jade Platinum one rung below. Much further down are my ZYX Airy 3s, Graham Nightingale and Clearaudio Titanium V1. I've yet to even hear my Proteus.
