Koetsu are crap and it is sad that some ognorant or criminal people crated so much hype about it. Might be in past it was better, as it was proposed above by somebody in this thread, but I doubt as I know people who drooled about Koetsu 20 years back keep drooled about them today.
Interesting your use of Lyra Helikon. I never liked Lyras but a few years ago I spoke with a guy who was ether an inventor of manufacturer of Lyra. He asked me what I did not like in it and I explained. Then he explained to me why I did not like it. He explained how Lyra was specifically made to work with ONLY very specific arms, how the Lyra’s suspension is made to give up vibration to very “especially” damped/suspended tonearms. The only arms, he claime, that would work “right” with his cartridges are FR arms. I do not remember details already but he sounded almost as he insisted that anybody who does not use Lyra with FR arms shall have bad sound. I had some options for Lyra needles but since I am religiously SME 3012 – type person, I never care about them after that guy’s explanation. It was Jonathan Carr I believe…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
