Been there and done this. Rauliruegas gives advice that I (by example) agree with 100%. We do develope preferences. I've owned the Koetsu Rosewood Signature and moved up from it to the Onyx. I've been a running various Koetsu's since their first releases. I have a special warm spot in my memory for the Rosewood References I've owned, still keeping two in my drawer. After hearing my frst Koetsu Onyx body cartridge in my system, I had to have one. IMHO, It just offers more detail, slam, bass and is more acruate the KRR's. I've tried and have other cartridges, just love the Koetsu sound.
BTW; I have a Lyra Titan Mono and like it a lot. I also have listened to and like the Dynavectors XV-1s a lot, but never quite pulled the trigger on that purchase. The Dynavector XV-1t Supreme sure is getting great comments now.
