Koetsu black, lacking bass


Greetings 
i just installed a new koetsu black cartridge. I love the clarity of this cartridge. I was using a lyra kleos , which is a great cartridge but the clarity of the koetsu black is at another level.
does anyone know if the black cart is light in the bass? It seems to me that  the bass sound of my system has diminished with the koetsu. Is this a break-in characteristic? I should mention that I installed a furutech gtx outlet which is still in the break-in phase. I’m using a clearaudio magnify tonearm with a clearaudio performance tt. My preamp is a McIntosh mp1000 with acoustic zen ic cables. Mcintosh ma252 amplifier, focal aria 948 speakers with transparent super speaker cable. Any insight and knowledge would be helpful and appreciated!
thank you

Compared to a Lyra Kleos, the Koetsu Black is going to sound less resolving in the bass...and frankly IMO every else in the frequency spectrum as well. The Black will sound warmer than the Kleos. 
I suspect what you are thinking is clarity is in fact loss of resolution and transparency to source vs. the Lyra Kleos. The Koetsu is basically a very dated design compared to the new angle design from Jonathan Carr.

Anyone here know what ’Platinum magnets’ are??? The Somarium Cobalt magnets are less powerful than neodymium magnets ( used in the Lyra’s)...as are just about all other magnet materials!
