Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges

Hi

I have my heart set on buying one of the better stone body Koetsu cartridges. The problem is I’m having a problem finding a tonearm that’s supposed to be a great match. I’ve read that they sound best with higher mass tonearms. The problem is, not every manufacturer will list the effective mass of their tonearms. I am leaning towards the Kuzma 4 point (11”) and the Ikeda 407. Does anyone know the effective mass of the Ikeda 407? If there are any others that work well with the Koetsu’s please let me know. I prefer new, not used. Thank you.

mijostyn,
FWIW, what I hear has a lot of value to me. Also, since my experience is limited to what I have actually heard, other audiophiles opinions of what they have actually heard has way more value to me than that of any number of spreadsheets telling me how something is supposed to sound. 



All the best
