I never heard it or about it and it might be interesting. Well, as interesting as any other basement-built cartridge – it might be pretty much anything from a very good to garbage and no one has control or verification of it. I found it is bit conspicuous that they do not inform what the shape of the needle they have; to me it would be important to know in case of mono cartridge. Also, that output of 20 mV – this is VERY high. So it is not MC cartridge I guess and they filed to inform what type it is.
Another thing that I am not sure about is the length of the cartridge. There is no data available but from the picture it looks like it is way loner then standard SME shell. If so then it will blow up the default SME overhanging and the arm geometry needs to be readjusted if one flips this cartridge to another on the same arm. I think the whole idea to have a cartridge with SME bayonet is that all interchangeable SME shells with cartridges must preserve the same distance from pivot to needle point. BTW, some of the US makers make their cartridges a bit shorter, like Grado for instance; their needles a few mm shorter from bolt points them most of the other cartridges. I truly hate it.
