Brinkmann and Koetsu?


I have a Brinkman Bardo with the Brinkman arm and am in search of a new phono cartridge......considering trying the Koetsu Rosewood Signature or the platinum version thereof.

Anyone with experience with this combo?  Or any suggestions re nice cartridge pairings with the BB combo?

Thanks,

I have a Bardo / Triplaner / Delos and quite enjoy it. Images like crazy, good tracker, very neutral - not colored...I have heard this same TT / Arm with Lyra Atlas and have also heard at dealer a Bardo w Brinkmann arm, RonT power supply and Lyra Atlas. I think a stone body Koetsu would be similar. My listening experience w wood body Koetsu says warmer and a bit of added color but not a mistake, just preference...

Thanks Jim! I see now that the OP had a Delos in a 2016 post. Kleos?

@bixx More info about system, sound preference may help. 

I have heard the Delos, but not in the Bardo. I'm sure it sounds magical though.

 

Glad you chimed in on this Jim. If anyone would know about this pairing, it's you.

I am playing the signature in my Brinkmann Balance with a SAT and I LOVE it. Not so much on the Bergmann Galder with the Odin.

the patinum sounded a little too bright for me.
