Well Tempered Reference Arm and Koetsu Rosewood Signature Combination
Hello,
Does anyone out there have any experience using a Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge in a Well Tempered Reference arm? I have this cartridge and arm which is mounted to a WT Classic 'table. I know this arm classifies presumably as a low mass arm. I bought the cartridge with a few hundred hours on it (circa mid 90's) and since then the suspension went kaput (tracking at 2 grams). I am seriously having Koetsu rebuild it. I really liked the sound of it in the arm before the suspension went south. Is there a better choice out there today for the same/ less money, across the board on all accounts, and is better suited for this arm if that's the case? I want to stick with my a moving coil. I remember back in the mid-80's a dealer back then let me borrow his Onyx Signature (pre-platinum) for a few months. I NEVER forgot that sound. It rivaled or surpassed any CD as CDs were back then for sound and quietness. The greatest surprise (and let-down was when I had to give it back to the dealer and put my Dynavector Karat Ruby back in my Grace 909 arm. That's when my jaw fell on the floor. It was quite heartbreaking.
If anyone has any experience with the combo above please chime in.
Thanks,
