Koetsu Burma Jade Platinum

Seems it is pretty rare...does someone own it and can share some impressions?

Overall very light rather than the deep green of the Jade. They were prevalent about 1999, I and another guy here in my group both had this model. I looked in my image files and have almost every model Koetsu except this. Here is a link to image at Top Class. http://www.topclassaudio.com/web/eng/photo_gallery_details.jsp?gid=7147

I have owned many Koetsu's - But not this one - But none have disappointed me in the past. They are a tad heavy & make sure that your tone arm & weights will support it.

I never saw one and also the name "Burma Jade" was - or is- new to me. It is a milky colored green, probably in a way a "brother/sister" of Koetsu Jade (-> deep green). Listened to Jade with Diamond Cantilever and it is glorious, really good.
