@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.

@rauliruegas Jade and Coralstone are both on the warm side here. I ended up preferring the more dynamic, detailed, "sparkly" Blue Lace. Onyx and RSP are in the middle. I like those too. Yes, in fact, this year I have been exploring and enjoying more detail-oriented and "bright" cartridges like AirTight PC-7 and Shelter 7000. But Windfeld Ti still doesn't do it for me (midrange). No need to denigrate Koetsu; in some system iterations they were the only cartridge that sounded "right"! |
Dear @mulveling : My system is not exactly a warmer one more in the alive side ( with low low distortion levels. ) and for some reason the Blue Lace did not " sparkly " here but that was the sample I listened. I think that exist little diferences between two samples same models or maybe the Blue Lace had to many play hours on it and near to a re-tip.
No, I'm not trying to denigrate Koetsu only posting what I learned and of course I can be wrong. I respect not only Koetsu manufacturer but all audio item manufacturers. Yes, that Windfeld is not for you but is a good cartridge. R. |
