Never had the pleasure of auditioning the Kiseki but do recall being smitten with a Koetsu Rosewood in that same price bracket. That cartridge made some serious music.. buttery smooth, a bit on the lush and romantic side but very enjoyable.
I suspect the Kiseki is probably somewhere in that category as well.
