Was told Kansui/Kuzma may not be a good match.

The Kuzma arms are medium mass, aren’t they. Mine is 13 grams, and I thought that was true with the 4 Point 11".
All of the posters here strike me as a seasoned, been there/done that group. I’d make a bet we all try to steer clear of the Hi-Fi sounding cartridges, and value tone with a nice fleshed out human sound. I know that’s what I crave. I was also considering Koetsu and EMT. I’ve owned and enjoyed the former, and still own and enjoy the 75. But I thought it was time to try something different with the MSL. While I’m sure their five models share a family sound, it’s my understanding that they do differ. Particularly the two gold body offerings. Again, there is a pretty good description on their website. Wayne Garcia recently reviewed the top MSL Gold model along with the Koetsu RSP. Other cartridges of interest, like Etsuru and Sumile, were simply out of my price range. I hate to pile it on, but two others options I found interesting were the Musikraft Nitro, and top line Charisma model.
