The fluid can damage the suspension & dry it out. Be careful is all. Use a tiny drop if any on a brush that only touches the stylus. Check here for wat people do.
Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body
Last time I had an opportunity to compare side by side Koetsu Jade and Koetsu Jade with diamond cantilever.
I must admit that DC Koetsu was simply amazing. Compared with stock Jade it was like completly different cartridge. Much better on frequency extremes, more airy, more precise, better articulation.
After auditioning Jade DC stock Jade sounded not very interesting.
I am considering Koetsu stone body with DC to my system, but think rather about Coralstone DC.
Unfortunately Koetsu cartridges have some flaws.
They do not give the best sound money can buy,
Are overpriced,
Hard to find good match with heavy mass tonearm.
For the Coralstone I was thinking about Origin Live 12" Enterprise C tonearm 22g effective mass.
As an alternative I was thinking about Allnic Puritas cartridge paired with new 12" Reed 3P tonearm.
I know that this is different price poin compared to top of the line Koetsu, but Allnic have some unique features and seems to have some sonic advantages of Koetsu sound.
Table is TW Acustic Raven AC.
Could you kindly share your impresions about above mentioned sets and let me know some advices?
