@cousinbillyl thanks, i know what you mean by addictive warmth, i feel the same with my garrott p77 right now.
Which Koetsu (Black or Rosewood) sounds like Kansui?
Few more unique cartridges to add to the sybject:
First one is new Allnic Puritas:
Second is vintage JVC DIRECT-COUPLE PHONO CARTRIDGE (they’re actually made several models with this unique technology), top of the line was Victor (JVC) MC-L1000 MC Cartridge with micro-coil sitting right-on-top of the stylus !

Few more unique cartridges to add to the sybject:
First one is new Allnic Puritas:
ALLNIC PURITAS (MC) cartridge is designed to reproduce music via a mechanism that emulates the LP cutting lathe’s cutter head. the Puritas has two separate hollow polycarbonate bobbins, as opposed to one bobbindesigned as an iron square or cross-block. Iron is about nine times heavier than poly carbonate, so a conventional iron bobbin reacts with far less agility to the musical grooves of a vinyl record than one made of hollow polycarbonate. As a cantilever moves along the vinyl’s grooves,
it needs a pivot. Conventional MC cartridges’ coils are located near the pivot because of their heavy moving mass. Because of its lighter moving mass, relative to conventional MC cartridges, the Allnic Puritas’s coils are nearer to the diamond stylus.
