I have always lusted for a stoned Koetsu! - someday.....
This is my second one, very lightly used with about 150 hours. My current Coralstone work horse has close to 800 hours. The coral stone is purdy on this one...
The pattern is pretty. What does your current Coralstone's body look like? FYI, I'll have the Azule Blue here in two or three weeks.

If Al decides that analog is for him, I would have no problem recommending the exact setup we heard in the Doshi/Paragon room at RMAF 2013. That was the Project table with the Azule Blue cartridge. I was mightily impressed with what I heard in that room with that setup. I don't know if the cartridge made the table sound so good or if the table made the cartridge sound so good. It was a dynamite combo.
If I ever decide for a stoned-Koetsu, the blue would be my first choice, I heard it at Tom's room (Triangle) and liked it!

you and me both.
Christian, its a heffer at 13gs (5 x 10-6 cm/dyne) does it work well on the phantom?
It worked great on my 10.5" arm and even better on my 12". The Graham arms can handle virtually any low compliance cart.
depends. I have an early 9.5" phantom with the lighter ceramic wand. something like the coral stone is on the cusp of sub-optimal in my setup.
The best I've heard my Jade is on my Tri-planar Ultimate 2. TechDAS didn't have the template so I asked one from Tri. Tri sent TechDAS an actual jig. Coolness.
I agree with you about the Doshi room and vinyl replay. Great sound.If Al decides that analog is for him, I would have no problem recommending the exact setup we heard in the Doshi/Paragon room at RMAF 2013.
