Bias on Koetsus


I was advised by the U.K. inporter to use no bias on
Koetsus and that the cantilever is off-set to allow for
this. Sugano apparently did not beleive in using any
form of compensation. Certainly the cantilevers I have seen appear not to be perfectly central to the body of
the cartridge when viewed front on. Any thoughts ?

Thank you Albertporter and Tora for your responses.
I shall go through the postings as you suggest.
Thanks Extreme phono for your useful comments. I am
using SME 309 with my Koetsus and wonder what bias to dial in. Using a test record does not seem to produce the best sound. Both of my cartridges are old- an
original Onyx and a more recent red K sig. It is quite
likely the suspensions have become weak but the diamonds are still (according to Expert Stylus Company who inspected them recently) servicable..
