It`s hugely dynamic, and a real bargain compared to the other Koetsus. I have owned one, and I still regret selling it. Moving further up the Koetsu line brings still more dynamics and better holography, but at a cost. I have owned Koetsus off and on for the last 30 years, and my current one is a Coralstone. An amazing cartridge, but the Black was more fun, IMO.

Same price in the UK, different spec, but it would interest me to know their characters if anyone can help? Rgds, Paul I have owned the Black, and Black Gold Line, and as far as I remember, they both had aluminium bodies. That was a long time ago, almost 30 years. I recently heard the Black Gold Line again, and I consider it a very good cartridge. Fast, dynamic, and on the warm side.
