Brinkmann and Koetsu?

I have a Koestue Rosewood Signature and it sounds exactly as advertised. Neutral balanced, detailed, natural, and musical. I am using it on a contemporary Linn LP12. I would buy it again.

Thanks very much for all your responses.....  In the past I have been using the Delos to very good effect.  I have downsized my system to fit my downsized room/house to a Nagra Classic INT, Roon/Carry DMS 600 streamer, Dynaudio C1 Platinum speakers on their stands, Brinkman table and arm on HRS stand, and a Musical Surroundings Nova II phono preamp.  My nephew managed to break the stylus off the Delos, hence my new search.  I have also been looking to upgrade the Nova II but have had no luck coming up with something better so far.  Thinking of trying the Zesto Andros?  Don't know if I can take the big dive for a Lyra Atlas, but my local stereo guy swears by them and used it in a Brinkman system for his reference....  Maybe a wood bodied Koetsu along with the Zesto might be too much of a good think?

The Zesto is excellent, i have heard it with a SOTA, SME and a Koetsu Rosewood. An Etna makes a good combo w Zesto. Etna likely my next cart. The Nova II in battery mode is very very neutral. I had a III before the Herron. Hopefully you are enjoying the musical journey :-) Jim

I would think that the Brinkmann SL tonearm would have too low vertical effective mass for Koetsu but inertia in the horizontal plane is high with SL tonearms, so perhaps you'd be ok. I love my Triplanar but it was not a good match with Koetsu Urushi which sounds much better in a higher mass (pivoted) tonearm.

Thanks Jim.....I AM having enjoying the journey!  Interesting watching my tastes change over the years as the system changes from rock to now mostly jazz and classical....VERY cool:-)
