Dear Ron
You are most welcome, I will message you in private regarding the cartridges I have tried with the 5T there have been many some of which have been quite wonderful. I will add for the past few days to great effect with the Jan Allaerts MC2 Formula One most certainly an interesting...
Congratulations Ron on the 5T, recently I have been listening to the 5T again I have found over the years of experimenting it is very capable of real weight it is very sensitive to its mounting platform I have had to had various arm boards machined also to the cables and not to mention the...
Thank you for your responce and kind words, and agree other things are far more important and I am so thankful I have so much more available that gives me greater satisfaction than any bit of Hifi. I agree the forum is a great place to learn from others experiences and I personally have my...
For me it is just a hobby and fun yes I do have to earn a living and have heavily invested in it but when we start hurting others over silly things such as hifi it becomes pointless. I was in hospital for 3 months seeing death head on any miniute anyone can die and thats a simple real fact it...
The LFT LT Arm has been modified over the years during its production, with different wiring all offering different perspectives to its sound, The original version with the ribbon wire has the most bass weight and drive with sheer sence of scale if that is what one is looking for. The arm...
I loved it I am positive this will turn into a very positive fun series I am sure this will also introduce many more to the whats the best community, It certainly takes dedication to anything like this and wish you all success with it. I likes the questiions you asked together with Jims...

Having played around alot with the 4P 9" and 11" they are very very different and work with very different cartidges and turntables. Generally the 4p 9" is faster sounding with more impact it goes deeper than the 11" just sounds very solid. The 11" has more texture kind od kinder and rounder...
All I will say is vastly more than the standard ones I have quite few one offs. Also I have some of the early bodies upgraded with diamond cantilever and pure platinum coils the Koetsus are my personal cartridges and nothing to do with my business. Not many would be prepared to pay the price...
The rarest Koetsu made the one off Carnelian Stone Diamond Cantilever platinum coil, this is one of the fastest explosive of all the Koetsus with a real sence of timing with very grainless with texture and speed.
