Thanks a lot Serge ! I have to print this.
Did you try Rothwell transformers ? They are not expensive compared to many other brands.

Koetsu are addicting. Good thing I never bought one!

I think so, Jerome, but check with Bob Sattin to be sure; his transformers have evolved since I got mine in 2011.

This is why I said this cartridge was "endgame" for me. No, never heard the C-J HV1-A. I went with the Bob's Devices SUT and was done. So very pleased it worked out so well for you. Best, Stephen

They are, but there is something quite special about the Vermilion, in particular.

I am running a Jade Platinum through an Aesthetix Rhea Eclipse. I suggest loading the cartridge as low as possible. My Rhea goes to 75 which seems ALMOST low enough. I’ve tried the Jade on my McIntosh C500 which can load down to 50 ohms. On the McIntosh this is the best setting of course the Rhea + Koetsu is heaven.
Good luck and enjoy the music! Mike S. |

I much preferred the Hashimoto transformer to the CineMag. It was the dynamic contrasts plus realistic stage width & depth that I found totally captivating.
