Raul, i appreciate your imput and u have a valid point. however,i have used this cartridge for about 6 mos and frankly as Dopogue stated it does sound pretty woeful, with lots of pops and clicks being the most alarming.i bought this cartridge as part of a package deal. i sent the turntable into sota for refurbishing and was told by the tech who set up my t/t that the cartridge had seen many hrs and suggested a retip i have bought a zxy cart to use as a fill in and before i send the koetsu in i will have it checked by a reputable source. i trutfully dont have the knowledge or equipment to make that call. i believe this cartridge was bought new with the t.t which is 84 vintage and it has been retipped by van den hull at some point ( dont know if that affects future retips or not)> if any one has information i would appreciate imput.
basically I fear i may be damaging my lps and dont want to risk it.my old t/t a rega p25 with an entry level cartridge sounded better and frankly i havent had the money, nor do i now actually but..... i know the capability of this set up and wish to experience it Thanks
