Unfortunately we were ripped off by Lumiere and they only delivered a few pieces from our order, and we never received the balance. The few that we received sounded dead and very different to our order sample. We contacted kikuchi about it and he said that he modified the design based on some audiophile's comments but he offered to exchange our cartridges with the original one that we heard and liked. I took two of them to his workshop in Japan where he was supposed to work on them and send back to us, but of course, a crook is always a crook, we never got those samples back either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09050358117353741101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334523067512245.post-22280383890653716822012-03-30T08:35:45.740+02:002012-03-30T08:35:45.740+02:00I agree... unfortunately this TOO common bad habit...I agree... unfortunately this TOO common bad habits go parallel - on best, unflawed samplers - with maybe one of the very best cartridges ever made... the artisan and his two or three employees are really throwing away a treasure on this cart... better (if any...) quality conbtrol and consistency and a serious, yet long delivery schedule would made DST a true winner!<br />A pity...twogoodearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878028720077565858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334523067512245.post-75376682095785324622012-03-30T01:31:30.902+02:002012-03-30T01:31:30.902+02:00A real nightmare the Lumière after sale service.
A...A real nightmare the Lumière after sale service.<br />An awful service made to my MC-DST(arm connector glued to shell with a 20° wrong angle!!!), no answer in 12 months after they received the cart, that I must consider lost. Isn't this a nightmare???luckylukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961065984231869714noreply@blogger.com
