Brinkmann and Koetsu?


I have a Brinkman Bardo with the Brinkman arm and am in search of a new phono cartridge......considering trying the Koetsu Rosewood Signature or the platinum version thereof.

Anyone with experience with this combo?  Or any suggestions re nice cartridge pairings with the BB combo?

Thanks,

Thanks Jim! I see now that the OP had a Delos in a 2016 post. Kleos?

@bixx More info about system, sound preference may help. 

I have heard the Delos, but not in the Bardo. I'm sure it sounds magical though.

 

Glad you chimed in on this Jim. If anyone would know about this pairing, it's you.

I am playing the signature in my Brinkmann Balance with a SAT and I LOVE it. Not so much on the Bergmann Galder with the Odin.

the patinum sounded a little too bright for me.

Brinkmann arm is an version of Breuer arm  but with different counter

weights meant as ''universal arm'' . Different weight function is

to get the weights as near as possible to the pivot. So in priciple

you can use whatever cartridge you like. 

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.
