VPI Aries 3, 10.5i Arm - Dynavector vs. Koetsu


Does anyone have experience comparing a Dynavector XX2 mkII and a Koetsu Rosewood Signature on a VPI Aries 3 with a JMW 10.5i arm? What are your thoughts? Any consideration will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Franks. I guess not getting even one response from anyone making the comparison might be a good indication that it might not be a good idea.
Thanks Franks. As I read your response I began to realize how stupid my reply was. What I meant to say is that it sounds like maybe the Koetsu Rosewood Signature might not be a good idea. At least not without your recommendations. I was not very clear in my initial post either. I already have a Dynavector XX2 mkII on my Aries. There have been times on certain recordings where I wonder if things are not just a tad bright. For that reason, when the possibility came up for a trade for this Koetsu, my curiosity became aroused. But the more I read about it the more I become afraid that it's going to be TOO laid back. But thank you very more for following back up with me.
Thanks John and Franks. I think I'm just going to sit still and keep the Dynavector. I'm not unhappy at all with the sound I get, like you say, on good recordings. I certainly wouldn't want to mess that up.
