Koetsu Blue Lace Onyx vs. Coralstone


wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to compare these 2 cartridges?

would also like to know if anyone feels the "diamond cantilever" to be a worthwhile upgrade?!

any insights appreciated...

Tell you what, Mulvening. If you want to pay the mail too and fro, I’ll clean a record for you (free) and you can see if it's worth the investment. I hang out in Victoria, Canada, on the wet coast.

I currently own both Koetsu's.  Both are wonderful.  Difficult choice, depending on the music one may prefer one slightly over the other.  The vast majority of the time, the slightly more musically visceral Blue Lace pulls slightly ahead of the immensely beautiful sounding and immersive Coralstone with the musical genres I enjoy. 

I have a friend overseas who swears by the Diamond Cantilever Coralstone, swears it can do everything! ......I think I need to try one sooner than later.  :~)

Hi folks,

I'm thinking of replacing my Koetsu Jade Platinum with the Blue Lace Platinum. Hope that it will be a worthy upgrade.
