Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please

Those 3 all seem like great choices. And you have a great system. I used to own Kensington - now Canterbury - and Koetsu cartridges get along *exceptionally* well with them both!

Yes, Koetsus are a bit harrowing to align because of the big boxy body, and they tend to ride fairly low - overhang positioning is OK but it's a little challenging to see enough of the cantilever to align it. Usually the cantilever will be well matched to the outer body edges, if you want to "trust" that (ignore the gold metal cover plate, which is often cut slightly off-center). I use a SMARTractor and yeah - sometimes I just give up and use the body as the cantilever reference. I had a Mint LP which was the best I've ever used for precise alignment, but broke it a few years ago :( 

To be quite honest if you use a Simple GeoDisc to adjust overhang and align the Koetsu body to the grid, 9 times out of 10 it will be 99% as good as a painstaking session from the SMARTractor or whatever. I've never had a Koetsu sound "off" from the GeoDisc, yet. 

Koetsu can be too warm or dark in some systems, but with op’s Tannoy Kensington, they help keep the horn tweeters in check. Then, the fabulous midranges of these 2 transducers make magic together.
