It has nothing to do with thread but with the fact, the facts that I am experienced. I have no exposure or familiarity with Yoshi Sugano’a cartridges but I know one guy who very much likes Koetsu and use then all his live. In fact he encouraged me to by my Koetsu. He never differentiated between new and old Koetsu, which lead to ask: where any old Koetsu in fact truly good or they are the mart of the mythological conjecture? I have a local guy who is a dear for Koetsu for many years. I asked him a few years ago about Koetsu and he informed me that newest production is very fine. It needs to be noted that I do not buy anything from him; he knows it and our conversations about audio have purely abstract character. I would not even mention that each year different audio publication publishes reviews about Koetsu. I did not read them but I am sure that they are excellent reviews…

The point is to accent that it is not about Koetsu but about apparently ignorant people who are absolutely clueless about sound they get but they keep maintaining the Koetsu hype. I know at least 3-4 other people who very much like me bough in the Koetsu hype and bought the top of the line Koetsu needles. All of them hate it. The point that I try to make is that if the vintage Koetsu were so good that why is it not the common knowledge among the people who know?

I have my literally new Koetsu Onyx platinum listed at my site for sale and over the years perhabs 20-30 people asked about it. You would never believe in what extend I go to convince people do not buy it. Perhaps I need to learn to tell to people some stories about Yoshi Sugano and the samurai’s swords….

BTW, when you say that “the Rosewood Pro 4 accomplishes things that no other cartridge do” then what do you mean? The Otophone from 50s also did some “things that no other cartridges do” but the today Otophone production I feel is better. Since no one I know collaborate the memories about the old Koetsu then is it possible that it is just your memoirs are good but not the Koetsu? Did you own it of you just heard it a few times? Adrian, I do not question what you report, I just curios to get more information…
