Is there a break-in period for Koetsu cartridges? I am using a new Koetsu which sounds somewhat harsh and throws a narrow soundstage...should this cartridge smooth out and open up over a period of time? Thanks
I don't really know. Before I had a Goldmund arm, which has a repeat, so I could use an old decrepid LP, I didn't like, I simply had to exercise patience and waited until the music began to bloom.
WDa, yes definitely. The harsh sound is typical. Mind you, you need to do a differential diagnosis as far as VTA is concerned. See that you have that right. But after about 19 hours of playing, you will notice a change in the sound, more bloom, better dynamics, better stage. Be patient. It can take weeks! Regards,
