” STEREOPHILE ” 2015 Class A Recommended Component

Miyajima Labs Shilabe: ✩
The Shilabe is a low-output (0.23mV), low-compliance design with an unusually high recommended tracking force of 2.5–3.2gm. Its Shibata stylus is attached to a large-diameter, old-fashioned–looking cantilever. Like Miyajima’s Premium Mono, the Shilabe uses a patented “cross-ring” construction that centers the generator’s fulcrum within the coil. Though it lacked the soundstaging and imaging of the Shun Mook Signature, the Shilabe had a sound that was “full-bodied, deep, and extremely well-defined,” and offered “superbly coherent transient and harmonic presentation from top to bottom,” said MF. AD also enjoyed the Shilabe’s “consistently present, colorful, and downright chunky” sound. “It was the closest I’ve heard a stereo cartridge come to delivering the meat, the force, the sheer solidity of mono,” he said.
