Agreed. I only wish I could hear the new Platinum for myself... :-)  Meanwhile I'll be looking for a used Shelter 901.
Do yourself a favor and look for components which aren't that colored.
When you don't want, because your System can't show any difference, ok, do it...
My latest idea:

Whenever I am in audio discussions and we'll reach the point (of no return):

"What components do you have?"

Of course, I say,"...blah,blah...koetsu Urushi Platinum....did you ever hear one?....Yes? Mine is new, what do you think about it?"

Of course it is a lie but I am interested about having a Moron in front of me or not...
When the answer is:"Boah, really? SUPER. When I will be a real Audiophile ...Man, I will buy one too....so lovely...so super...blah..blah..."or
...lowering the voice and whispering." .... really? I have 2....."...

well, then I know it, what kind of guy is in front of me.
I don't tell him what I think, for what? He will never have that kind of intelligence to find components which shows what is going on...

btw.

latest Hype 2009 about Koetsus, I had tears in my eyes after reading that

http://tempuri.org/tempuri.html

Specially after the Midrange report: the area where the music lives..."magic" of course. What is magic? I think, magic is the nonexistence of - right- Highs and lows

then, lets go on for something serious: 10.000 USD

Koetsu Azule
..Where the midrange has always been strength of the Koetsu cartridges it really becomes magical when listening to the female voice.
Aha. Of course. The female voice....and magic of course...
 the midrange has always been strength of the Koetsu cartridges it really becomes magical when listening to the female voice.
and then: Bass

that is something which the serious Audiophile needs like Fresh Air for living....ok, lots of blah without any information (as usual) but then we can go for the grail (probably) 

the 13 k Koetsu
Step 1: The reviewer show "us" that even he shocked about that price
..For $13k it better produce the artist live, in the flesh in my living room.

Step 2: the reviewer will give us some thoughts why it is well worth the price (even a steal)
.I figured for that kind of coin it should be cut from a solid diamond, preferably a blue diamond like the Hope Diamond… Well, I was somewhat wrong in my assessment of the appearance. The cartridge absolutely shimmers and has a beauty that made me begin to think differently about earth tones..

Step 3: the reviewer tells us, that he bought one of these reviewed Koetsues, because they are sooooooooo great and he can't simply not live any longer on this planet without..
.As for me I am sold on Koetsu as my reference cartridge and now the stone body platinum is replacing my Urushi. I will probably keep the Urushi and just suffer through having to own two Koetsu cartridges.....
