Brinkmann and Koetsu?


I have a Brinkman Bardo with the Brinkman arm and am in search of a new phono cartridge......considering trying the Koetsu Rosewood Signature or the platinum version thereof.

Anyone with experience with this combo?  Or any suggestions re nice cartridge pairings with the BB combo?

Thanks,

Thanks very much for all your responses.....  In the past I have been using the Delos to very good effect.  I have downsized my system to fit my downsized room/house to a Nagra Classic INT, Roon/Carry DMS 600 streamer, Dynaudio C1 Platinum speakers on their stands, Brinkman table and arm on HRS stand, and a Musical Surroundings Nova II phono preamp.  My nephew managed to break the stylus off the Delos, hence my new search.  I have also been looking to upgrade the Nova II but have had no luck coming up with something better so far.  Thinking of trying the Zesto Andros?  Don't know if I can take the big dive for a Lyra Atlas, but my local stereo guy swears by them and used it in a Brinkman system for his reference....  Maybe a wood bodied Koetsu along with the Zesto might be too much of a good think?

Thanks Jim.....I AM having enjoying the journey!  Interesting watching my tastes change over the years as the system changes from rock to now mostly jazz and classical....VERY cool:-)
