I heard the same thing about the Black and thought that if I were to try a Koetsu it would be a good "reason" to move up to the Rosewood. Problem is it's hard enough to audition amps, speakers, etc. sometimes. Auditioning cartridges are next to impossible, so you have go with your gut or what you read here and other places. Maybe I will try a Black. I guess the worst that can happen is I'll save a thousand bucks over the Rosewood.
Thanks again.
