The Koetsu Urushi loves high effective mass. This is not a subtle need. It almost doesn't matter how good the tonearm is as much as high effective mass does matter. I use an Ortofon LH9000 headshell (18g) on a Fidelity Research FR64S. That combination gets the best out of my Urushi, compared to my Triplanar and a few other very good tonearms.
Experience with Glanz MH-10Bt? Luxman PD-171A
I’m considering upgrading the stock Jelco type tonearm on my Luxman PD-171A. My go to guy in Japan is suggesting the Glanz MH-10Bt tonearm. Glanz also has an attractive mounting option for this specific turntable.
I’m using a Koetsu Black gold line. However, I have an Urishi Tsugaru new in the box that I’m saving for a better tonearm.
My phonostage is a Line Magnetic that I plan on upgrading to either a Zesto or BAT VK-90P. Record mat in use is a SAEC-300mk2.
Does anyone have listening experience with this tonearm? Other suggestions are welcome for both tonearm and phonostage. I like the dust cover so it’s important to me that I can close it without interference.
