Hi Warjarrett
I have the idea that most folks about, just don't have the Mega-Buck budget --- and so they couldn't care less?! :-)
Some say: --- that prices for these babies are big time marketing influenced, same motor, a few more or less windings here or there, put into yet another not so very pricy (in real terms) semiprecious stone -- voila another 10k $ item is born, make that 20k$ for their top offering... It smells like some elitist rip-off to me.
Some friend of mine has just come back from the Munich Hi-End Show and was not exactly blown away by the Koetsus when comparing with the other TOP MC offerings. If you want names I'll let you know :-)
I'm not selling ANYTHING, just some 'poor old audio sod' I am.
But lucky as it can get, I'm running an Orpheus in my system right now --- and keep on shaking my head, saying -incredible- all the time.
In fairness, I had listened to the likes of a Windfeld, Dorian, Axia, and etc. before, so no Koetsu which does little to answer your actual question.
Why not share your finding with your current Koetsu (I guess you are using one...)
Greetings,
Axel
