Koetsu owners cartridge set up ?


Hai, my first ever thread started on audiogon, champagne!!!

(joking) I m just curious how other koetsu users set up theirs .
Having owned it now for 3 months .
First having tried the 100 ohm setting on the nagra ,as the advice seems to be 30 ohms (not possible on the plp)but as there is no koetsu factory site im only guessing.
I now notice much improvement however as i set it to 1 kohm , more dynamics /precision /speed ,this was the same for the condor to which i listened a couple of years ,this was the advised setting for the condor though ,so no problem there, but as i got lower with condor i had the same problem.
Further i set the tracking weight to around 2 grams which seems to be average although i read 1.90 grams also a lot.
My arm is not level but raised a bit at the back.

You can see some measurments if you go to almost live audio's websire. I think it's almostliveaudio.com, or just google almost live audio. There is alink from there to Koetsu's and their measurments.... If Samhar did not mention it, and he may have, he has a Rose Sig, and move to a Urushi. My memory has it that he has not looked back since. I had a standard red, and an RSP, and there was no comparison. I run the Jade now, and enjoy very much. My guess is that i will always have a Koetsu is the stable.
Samhar, Thanks for clarifying. It's always good when you can try other cartridges. I won't ask the details of your experience, as it get's off the original subject here.
I am also trying a new cartridge on a new TT, not my Basis/Vector setup. I am enjoying it quite a bit, and perhaps it is a better value than the Koetsu. That said, it does not have that Koetsu midrange thus far. Andromeda-sorry the specs list on Almost Live audio did not have the spec's you are looking for. It is the only Koetsu specs I have seen.
