Koetsu cartridges - what arms work?

Dear @lewm : In reality is not a low complianc but belongs more to the medium compliance range. Its 5-6cu is at 100 hz, so its real cu is more in  the 10-12 number.

Thanks, Raul.  I got the idea that Koetsu's in general have very low compliance from what I have read on the internet, always a dangerous way to gather information.  I ran my Urushi in a Triplanar, which is medium mass; it "worked" fine, but I've never tested higher mass tonearms. If it's really medium compliance, it ought to work fine in a Triplanar and in any of several other modern high end tonearms that typically seem to shoot for "medium" effective mass.

Any thoughts on a Koetsu mounted to a Well Tempered arm?? Particularly a Urushi or one of the stone bodies. Low mass arm, but highly damped...??

I’ve used various Koetsu cartridges (Coralstone Plat, Jade Plat, Onyx Plat, Onyx Sig, RSP) between a Fidelity Research FR64fx and Graham Phantom Supreme 10". Both arms pair great.

I have a rebuilt ( from Koetsu ) Rosewood.
Two tonearms.
One a Moerch DP8 ( 12 inch, blue armwand )
Two a Fidelity Research FR66s. Various headshells. The best fit was the Arche w/ silver leads.

The Koetsu sounded sublime in both arms. If I had to pick a winner, it would probably be the FR66s.

Now I'm not saying the FR66s is better than the Moerch. But with the Rosewood, it is to my ears. The Moerch, I think, bettered the FR66s with some other cartridges.

But both were superb performers with the Rosewood.
