et tu Koetsu?

How do the new ones stack up against the classics? Or against the new contenders.

Although I clearly see and appreciate the beauty of the Koetsu sound but I do not see myself to use it should I have a TT with just one arm. The Koetsu limitations at lower octave and its yellowness makes Koetsu not an universal sounding cartridge.(Unless you intend to convert sound of NY Philharmonic into Czech Philharmonic and Mahler into Janacek with EACH record you play). I quiet successfully use Koetsu Onyx Platinum in 2 % of all analog playing (luxury of TT with 5 arms) but if I would be forced to stick explicitly just to one arm/cartridge then I doubt the I would stay with Koetsu.
