@chakster I think you are very optimistic if you think that there are ANY dealers in the US who can demo all of the Koetsu line. Nevermind other top flite cartridges. ( or for that matter just one decent example of the line!)Most of these guys cannot even set up a cartridge , so to think they are demoing Koetsu’s isn’t happening.
Unfortunately, one of the other pet peeves that I have with this industry right now...is the ludicrous aspect of the minuscule output that most of these cartridges put out. The Mijayima line is a perfect example of this issue, their cartridges feature flea output, requiring a SUT, or placing great strain on the upstream phono stage, particularly if it is a tube phono stage, like mine.
Like i stated above, I don’t need advice on this issue, because there are a number of variables involved..and unlike many high end cartridge consumers, I am aware of them.
I hate to tell the folks here how much Total ‘BS’ was given to me by the numerous dealers and manufacturers reps that I spoke to over the last few months.
You ask if I think I am special...far from it, which apparently results in all of these same folks trying to convince me of their ‘BS’...did that tactic succeed with you?
