koetsu rosewood signature vs. Blue urushi

You also might want to consider a top vd hul cartridge , just because they are not in a "temporary audiofile hype" at the moment means they are not top class cartridges , i just compared the koetsu urushi wayima and the condor my expiriences are on my page .

And no i dont sell vd hul cartridges

As far as i know is the output of all the urushis 0,4 , i would like to see some measurements from somebody on that , as there is no koetsu factory site

Indeed and it says 0,4 for the sky blue .

The vermillion red specs from the needle doctor are contradictive , in the specs it says 0,2 and next to the picture it says :

The red-lacquered Urushi Vermillion uses a low-capacitance cantilever wand a Quadrahedron stylus. Its samarium-cobalt magnet and silver-clad six-nines copper coils produce an output of 0.4mV. Though it was "slightly polite on top" and lacked some air and space it's "rich and colorful" sound was never soggy or too romantic. The "artfully coded" Vermillion proved to be "one of a handful of most muscly engaging cartridges" in MF's experience.

If MF is michael fremer you now whom i trust , i ll check stereophile on the review .
I also asked another " well informed" source .

Indeed, its from the 2008 MF review.
