@rauliruegas Interesting post. Do you think that today the house sound of a Koetsu is easily bettered? As they are known for ’warmth’ , perhaps this is their strength. Not appealing to some, but also maybe required depending on set-up. I do think that all of the Lyra’s that I have heard are far more resolving than the Koetsu’s I have heard ( and I have heard most of them, including the Blue Lace etc.,), but is this sound more musical??

Dear @daveyf : Sorry, but Koetsu has no single " strength " as a top cartridges.
" more musical?? " : well that depends the kind of audiophile first hand experiences with MUSIC/sound and his priorities. For me musical is a " word/term " in audiophiles that normally has no real/true experiences very often with live MUSIC seated at nearfield position but " musical " could be anything in LP reproduction even for experimented audiophiles. A way to controversial " word " . I prefer to talk of what is rigth or wrong instead " musical ".

@rauliruegas One thing, as an ex-pro musician, I can tell you with some confidence, that there are no two people who will tell you that one person's sound is 100% 'right' and another's is 100% 'wrong'...per your supposition. Just like what is musical to one is not necessarily to another, however, I think we can say that most folks will enjoy a certain musical 'experience' in the same way that most (not all) others do. |
@daveyf : Agree, I was something " extreme " about. The issue is that musical almost means different " things " to audiophiles is a to " wide " word and that's why I usually do not use it.

@mulveling : The one Koetsu that like me ( at least the sample I listened ) was/is the Coralstone.
