Best Koetsu for SME V

Thanks Jonathan, my mistake re the DD. I hope to get my Lenco rebuild done in a couple of weeks, so the comparison between this idler drive and the SP10 DD in heavy plinths will be interesting. For what its worth, on both of my rebuilds have gone to some length to isolate the arm board from the possible vibrations from the motor drives and platters. On the Lenco I am building one board firmly coupled to the table mass plinth as most folks usually build and the other decoupled from the table plinth but coupled to the base plinth that the table is also coupled to, so I can compare the two.

Since I am so pleasantly surprised with my newly acquired Koetsu RS I would like to hear from those have compared that with the RSP.

I use the Black and like it a lot. Has aluminum body.

Hi Dgad
I am using the Urushi with the SME 312S and would like to increase the effective weight of the arm to get a better sound. I would like to seek your advise on how much weight and where to put the Bluetak at the pivot. Do you mean to put Bluetaks at both sides of the pivot so that the weight can be balanced off? Do you suggest to use the oil provided as damping? Thanks in adance for your help.

Two friends of mine uses 9" SME V with Rosewood Signature and Jade Platinum.
This is good match but in my opinion not the best possible.

I was trying Urushi Vermillion with higher mass arm - 12" Origin Live Enterprise C (21 grams eff. mass) and got very good results.

Thank you the information. I am concern about the resonance problem with the combination of SME 312S (14g) & Urushi (9g). So, I am trying the effect of adding about 5.5g more weight to the head shell by heavier screws and a metal plate.
Need sometime to test the result. BTW, what VTF do you use? Thanks.
