Koetsu, the "Pleasant Light" literally, is the best at conveying the emotion in the music. The mids are very special.
MC Cartridge upgrade from Grado reference?
I need some advice on a cartridge upgrade. I currently have a Grado Staement Refence (.5mv) and would like to try a good MC. I was thinking the Shelter 901 would be the one to go for. I then started reading here on Agone and I am finding out it may not be the best match for my tonearm/TT. Any suggestions for 2k or under? The Helicon, for instance, seems to be held in a little less esteem than it once was (especially compared to the Shelter). How about Koetsu, ZYX........... (or stick with Grado (Statement????))
