Do the new Koetsu's trck better than the ones from decades ago? That was my only real problem with them; well, that and the price!

How about a Kiseki?

I don't know if its today's arms or changes made by Koetsu but I haven't had any tracking problems with my Koetsu carts. I haven't really heard of any problems from others either except an isolated case where a souther arm had rails that needed a bit of TLC.
+1 This is where really good arms strut their stuff. Especially the ones that can seriously control the cartridge during difficult groove passages.

Pulled the trigger on the Koetsu Blue Lace. Should be here tomorrow. Going to have Stirling Trayle from Audio Systems Optimized (http://www.audiosystemsoptimized.com/) do the setup and hopefully teach me his wily ways. Looking forward to some new magic. :)

That is very exciting! Congratulations on your decision and your purchase!

Sterling is fantastic!

Please post photos of that pretty blue body!
