I had the Kondo IO-M, which I find the best of the lot. I still have only a few hours on the Etsuro Gold, so I’m still holding my breath.
The Kondo has more tone and texture, it is less hi-fi (stage width and depth are less prominent), but it just sucks you into the music like no other cartridge I had.
The Bordeaux came before the Kondo, I found it a bit colored in the mid bass region.
I also have the MSL Gold, which I really like and is my backup cartridge. It’s a great allrounder.

I also tried the Miyajima Infinity on the linear arm, and it worked great!
But due to my stereo vs mono records ratio, I’d rather have a main stereo cartridge on my linear arm.
Great thanks...

Once the Etsuro Gold is burned inn please let us know how it sounds on your lt and vs Kondo io-m..?
