PictureThe Koetsu Rosewood cartridge - I've had many cartridges as a hobbyist. Early on, it was all the moving magnets I could get my hands on, the Grados, Shures, Promethean Greens, etc. Then came my era of the moving coils, and I started with Dynavector and pretty much stayed with them my entire life. Oh, there were flirtations with some that were the hot shots of their time, yet that always faded and back to Dynavector I went. I never owned a Koetsu until recently, yet I always heard them in my shop trips (remember those?), and that sound they gave lingered in my memories. So now they're here, or at least the Rosewood model, and it fits very well into the mix with the Dynavectors and EMT's that I know and love so well. There are quite a few models in their line up, so we'll see what else may end up here. At $3495 the Rosewood is a great place to start, so schedule a listen when it's time.....

  a bit of room remodeling in Studio B.  Also note the new JM Reynaud Bliss Jubilee speakers, and at the far right the new Sugden Masterclass preamp and Sapphire amplifier in custom black faceplates, delightful solid state separates, if I do say so myself!

the backyard is looking a bit like a scene from a Merchant Ivory film....maybe it's time for a little Delius or Elgar on the stereo later....
