Is a Koetsu Rosewood Sig Overkill for my JMW 9Sig?


My system has evolved wonderfully over the recent past.
I'm running a few year old ZYX Airy Vintage on a Scoutmaster with center & ring weights via a Cardas Neutral reference into an EAR 864 full function preamp.
My Cary V12 drives Wilson Audio Sophia I's.
Will the 9 Sig (With 3 gm headshell weight) allow the Koetsu to perform its' magic? Is is a worthwile upgrade?
My musical tastes range from vocals to classic rock to chamber music to symphonic extravaganzas.
I'm not at all unhappy with the ZYX (just the opposite). Just looking for another flavor of magic. I'll probably keep it as well.

Show me a person who hates the ZYX UNIverse .24 Copper....and I will show you a person who is tired of music!
The analogue audio world is composed of 2 groups.....those that love Koetsus.......and the rest!
I have just bought a ZYX UNIverse after having Lyra Titan i,
Lyra Helicon, Clearaudio Signature, Koetsu 52nd Anniversary, Koetsu Rosewood Sig.
The Koetsus lasted but a week in my system....they are bland, soft, laidback and boring to the point that you want to physically shake them to wake up.
Koetsus sound like NO other cartridges.......so ask yourself....are they the only ones who know what music REALLY sounds like??!!
Do you feel lucky.......punk??!
