Koetsu owners cartridge set up ?


Hai, my first ever thread started on audiogon, champagne!!!

(joking) I m just curious how other koetsu users set up theirs .
Having owned it now for 3 months .
First having tried the 100 ohm setting on the nagra ,as the advice seems to be 30 ohms (not possible on the plp)but as there is no koetsu factory site im only guessing.
I now notice much improvement however as i set it to 1 kohm , more dynamics /precision /speed ,this was the same for the condor to which i listened a couple of years ,this was the advised setting for the condor though ,so no problem there, but as i got lower with condor i had the same problem.
Further i set the tracking weight to around 2 grams which seems to be average although i read 1.90 grams also a lot.
My arm is not level but raised a bit at the back.

1k ohm is actually 100 ohms in real life loading. That is the recommended loading for the koetsu. Although mine is at 150 ohms at the moment and i'm happy with it.
Lewm,

How are the Rosewood different than the Urushi ?
Now have a rosewood & thinking of Urushi down the line.
Which model of Urushi do you own ?

Noli
Thanks to all who replied. The Urushi would be something to aspire in the near future.
Personally after trying the rosewood in my system, there was no turning back. Koetsu is really very different from most of the carts i tried. But again, to each his own.
