Playing with the thought of owning one of the above.
Planning to use a Thales Simplicity II tonearm and a Pass XP-25 phono.
Looking for the best “musical” (not necessarily neutral or “as-recorded”) reproduction of classical instruments (piano in particular). I already have a DS Audio W2 on a second arm, which gives me the best dynamic and neutral sound - looking for something a bit different in sound.
Would love to hear your thought/experiences, and if any if you had a chance for a head-to-head comparison (or any kind of comparison).
Thanks!
P.S.
By Koetsu platinum-based - I mean Rosewood-platinum, Urushi-platinum and stone-bodied-platinum.
