There is nothing special about the Koetsu SA-1100d. It is standard Japanese fare. The SAEC is a more interesting but equally flawed design. Examples of good design are the Kuzma 4 points, the Reed 2G, the Schroder CB and the Tri Planar. Because they are good designs it may be harder to find a used example. Keep an eye on the market and eventually one will pop up.
Koetsu Tonearm (mid 80’s I think?)
Does anyone have experience with these 1980’s tone arms?
Looking to potentially have a second tonearm and cartridge for just playing around.I would likely need to relevel the turntable, but the cartridge mounting would be set and forget once it is initially set up.
- Are they worth having?
- And is there a spec for how far the mounting hole would need to be from the spindle?
- And it is a sideways move from an SAEC WE-317, or ???
