Owned a Koetsu Black for 15 years- never missed a beat.
Loved the cartridge.
Yes, its on the warm, romantic side of the spectrum, but it sure played music.
Replaced the Black with a Lyra Argo i when the diamond 'fell out' of the Black. The Argo was very different, being far more detailed and precise, yet I still miss the Blacks presentation, especially on female voices.
I may get the Black re-tipped, its a great cartridge.
