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?The Cat
Hmmmm, count me in too. I remember being impressed by the old Rosewood 25 yrs ago and by all the hype surrounding it; But I never had it, I just had the memories coming from my criteria of the time and my limited experiences then, etc. Later, with an Urushi, I no longer had "lush sound" but, rather, recessed upper frequencies -- so of course the remaining mid frequencies were prominent...
And, like everyone, I tried the tricks of the trade {arm lifting/ lowering (a Pluto & a Clearaudio) the loading game (low pF high R), etc}. It still sounded like a tube amp from the 60s running on the original tubes.
