koetsu rosewood signature vs. Blue urushi

personally, I would go for a Koetsu over a Shilabe any day. the Shibale IMO just does not have enough action or get up and go.

the koetsu is all music

You also might want to consider a top vd hul cartridge , just because they are not in a "temporary audiofile hype" at the moment means they are not top class cartridges , i just compared the koetsu urushi wayima and the condor my expiriences are on my page .

And no i dont sell vd hul cartridges

Thanks for all your replies. I ended up with the Blue Urushi.

Thanks for the follow up!!! What are your thoughts on the amounts of information delivered by the Vermillion @ .2mV verses the Blue @ .4mV ?

I'll get back to you on that after I listen for a while
