| Anyone Ever Figure Out Who Really Designs And Build the Kiseki Cartridges? Does not design and build. When you read the history, Herman sent 6 cartridge bodies out to 3 cartridge makers, and that is all the backstory we get. Happened in a reaction to losing distributorship of the Koetsu line in Europe. http://kiseki-eu.c... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi The Analysis Plus Silver Apex is due to deliver today. With that bit of the puzzle in place, I can then decide if I need to progress a bit further in terms of optimizing other parts of the analog chain for this cartridge. | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Oh sure I understand what you are saying Lew. The first step in the process is getting the Analysis Plus Apex phono interconnect installed, and making sure there is not a bottleneck there. Then we will evaluate. I did pick up a used SUT for a mode... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi @handymann That is the word about the Urushi. But then it seems Koetsu owners can use them on a SME V with excellent results. And that arm is 10/11 grams in mass. Decidedly in the medium mass camp, right there with a Rega 303. The Zupreme head she... | |

| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi @quincy The Liberty offers 64 dB gain in MC mode, with load settings of 100/220/330/500. Until now the 100 and 220 settings have been just fine for all my previous cartridges, which have ranged from Ortofon Winfeld, ZYX 4D, Shelter 501, Transfigur... | |
| What is your experiences with t H Cat 12B Pre-amp I did go through all the info i could find on Google, which of course led to several posts here in the Audiogon forums. What I gleaned from things is that those who heard the pre amp seemed to think it was pretty good. i also saw that many were le... |
