I agree with Kurt_tank's critique. I have three generations of the RS (two rebuilt) and two Onyx Platinum Signature (one rebuilt). The Onyx is a stone family member and is much more precise in the highs, mids and low frequencies than the the Rosewoods of yesteryear. Today I have the Onyx P.S. mounted in a Graham Phantom spinning all kinds of sweet music. Yes, the Koetsu favors a gorgeous mid-range, but it's not over blown-just gorgeous, something to enjoy.
Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
Hi guys - I am looking to upgrade my 1 year old Dynavector xx1 MC cartridge - I have heard (and read) for many years that Koetsu cartridges are a great option for those looking for musicality, right timbre and lush-sounding analog.
Digging further I find that some cathegorize them as slow sounding, not great tracking and poor price/performance ratio as well... I am looking for advise from those who have experience with Koetsu - particulary those who moved from a fast sounding cartrdige like Dyna, Clearaudio or Lyra - missing anything once you moved?
Thanks
Fernando
