Dear @jjgasp  : "   I’ll let you know once I get it setup and dialed-in "

Can I understand that you own that combo and not listen it yet?

Btw, you can't have any problem between tha RSP and the really good Kuzma tonearm. It's frequency resonance in between stays inside the ideal frequency range ( 8hz-12hz. ) with: 11hz.

That cartridge is very good performer, I own it and after own several Koestsu models this one was the first Koetsu that really shines and by coincidence was ( I think ? ) the first Koetsu with platinum magnets. Stay with no MM can be nearer except the MI ADC 26/27.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Dear @westcoastaudiophile : Yes, that Teac unit is accurated but its overall operation is in digital domain and works with op-amps. It's not a full analog discrete devices unit. I can't know what the OP could think about.

Certainly and even that's really inexpensive: not for me.

Again, thanks everyone for your thoughts.  Great to have a place like this to get great opinions on esoterica.  

@rauliruegas - the tonearm and cartridge are on order.  I currently have a Pass Labs XP-17 phono pre, but want a phono pre that can handle two carts and has balanced output.
Dear friends: I posted a few days now that we don't need a high efecctive mass tonearms and posted why. There I said that a medium EM tonearm can works with almost any cartridge as what the OP owns.

But if we own a high compliance cartridge say 23cu that weigths 5grs. ( normally those MM/MI cartridges are low weigth. ) and we mounted in a 14grs. EM tonearm ( typical medium mass. ) the resonance frequency will stays at 8hz that by coincidence is where misjostyn likes it.
