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,

The Zesto is excellent, i have heard it with a SOTA, SME and a Koetsu Rosewood. An Etna makes a good combo w Zesto. Etna likely my next cart. The Nova II in battery mode is very very neutral. I had a III before the Herron. Hopefully you are enjoying the musical journey :-) Jim

I have a Bardo / Triplaner / Delos and quite enjoy it. Images like crazy, good tracker, very neutral - not colored...I have heard this same TT / Arm with Lyra Atlas and have also heard at dealer a Bardo w Brinkmann arm, RonT power supply and Lyra Atlas. I think a stone body Koetsu would be similar. My listening experience w wood body Koetsu says warmer and a bit of added color but not a mistake, just preference...
