What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?
We can also measure the resonance behaviour - and here you must use something very, very special to be more neutral than those treated wood tubes. What do you thing, why Were should I start.....???? There is a lot wrong in your statements (physics misunderstood ???) - and it does not get more...- Inline Six

What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?
That would be true, if they were not treated....I had the chance several times to attack them to resonate with different tools at Franks workshop - and could compare the untreated material to the final treated armatures - and the difference is stunning. And metal is an even more ringing material...- Inline Six

What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?
You are very welcome....! The BA is not so much heavier than the custom made DPS arm - and yes, the Zero mates very well with the BA arm (not only the Zero though). As I like the magnet bearing arms so much - I opted against the BA arm....but that is just me. Regarding the LT - that would be my...- Inline Six

What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?
All 4 Schröder tonearms I use have different effective mass figures - therefor Frank uses different woods - not to get a specific sound signature - the opposite is true - just to be able to manufacture tonearms with different effective masses while being equally in size. Frank does treat the...- Inline Six

What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?
I use them on 3 Frank Schroeder tonearms, namely the Reference, CB and DPS - which sounds super amazing! The different carts are: Rosewood Signature, Urushi Sky Blue Mono, Urushi Vermillion and Urushi Wajima Platinum.- Inline Six

In Germany all stone Bodie carts costs the same - it does not matter if you buy a blue lace or an onyx...I know, that it is different in the US....so I doubt, that higher selection was present at the most expensive (in the US) blue lace. And then the question is - what is higher selected....the...- Inline Six

You might got me wrong: Of course you need exactly the materials Koetsu are made of...starting at the specialcantilever design and stylus cut. And of course Granite is not among those materials - it has a reason, why the stone bodies were selected in the way we had it. But if a skilled cartridge...- Inline Six

So....Sugano was way over 80 years old - do anyone of you believe, that at this age, you still can produce such a thing as a cartridge - with delicate miniature parts under a microscope - and further - Koetsu had an output at one year at about 1000 - 1200 carts. It is impossible to do this...- Inline Six

...and maybe one more detail regarding an amazing step up transformer: If you are a dedicated Koetsu listener, I would suggest to try out Micha Ulbrichs Consolidated Audio step up transformer. He offers different wire materials such as pure copper, a hybrid between copper and pure silver and...- Inline Six

Talking about all the details - maybe it is a good point here, to exchange experiences - not only related to effective mass figures of different tonearms - a lot, and I mean A LOT can be optimised with a correct adjustment: - So here we go:1. The SUT / phono stage My findings are, that a 1:20...- Inline Six

Regarding EMT cartridges, which were made in Switzerland at Micha Hubers facility, he changed the suspension, when he took over from EMT Germany. The problem with EMT suspensions bevor that change was the durability. As they were made to be used in broadcast station to play 24/7 in the old days...- Inline Six

Dear Jadis and all other Koetsu fans - please let me clarify some facts about the compliance of a Koetsu and the loooooong and often repeated story of the super heavy tonearms it needs to perform at its best: There are two measurement methods to determine the compliance of a given cartridge...- Inline Six
