Hello, I have an Avid Acutus SP with a SME IV and Koetsu Urushi vermillion. Overall I’m very happy with the sound, but is can be a little “thick and slow” in the bass and as I’ve been listening a lot in our Covid lock-down, I came to thinking about how to improve things?
- The SME IV is a weak link... what is a good replacement that will work with my Koetsu?
- Koetsu - I love the sound of the midrange and the rich tactile midrange, but it’s not the fastest and it’s low output is a bit noisy with my Vitus RP102. I have a nice offer on an Onyx platinum to open the sound out (but keep the Magic?)
- Upgrade to SP Reference. Seems rather expensive for a motor driver at 9k£!!
- Tone Arm cable - I have a Furutech silver Arrow 2 but having upgraded my cables to Ansuz C2 recently with a frankly amazing improvement is the way to go.....
You help and advice most welcome....
