Great thread, how far have you taken "Alignment" with your current cart? I'm running a very similar setup with Xtension 10, Blackbird (LO), C47. I've held off tweaking alignment too much as the X10 tonearm seems tricky to fine tune.

As a result of my persnickety, patient nature, I've been asked to set up a bunch o 'tables. The reason I started this thread was due to installing a Koetsu Jade Platinum on a friends Ovation with Clarify Arm. The difference between that cart and his former, albeit slightly wore Benz Micro Gullwing was stunning. It got me thinking.... |

Cartridge Recommendations for ProJect Xtension 10
Ryan, in case you missed it, Josh aka Livestrong has a Sumiko Palo Santos for sale on the site for a heck of a good price, right in your range. I don't think you could do much better than that for this table.

Nice If the Pearwood is already this good, the Palo Santos must be stellar.

I have a unique opportunity to pick up either a Koetsu Black Goldline, Rosewood Standard, or Rosewood Signature. I'd love the signature, but are they really worth the extra $$$?
And are the Rosewoods really all that much better than the Black Goldline. I know this is a really open ended, and subjective question, but I am curious to see if anyone has moved up the Koetsu line and can elaborate. I've seen at least one review that went through the progression. Last edited by rjryan; 05-02-2017 at 08:02 PM. Reason: proof-reading |

Quick update:
I installed the Koetsu Rosewood Standard, and it seems a really good mate for my tonearm. I've got quite a way to go on break-in, but I like the direction the cart is taking so far. The soundstage is quite striking in comparison to my prior Black Bird HO cart. More to come. |

Thanks! It's quite a cart to set-up, but when the set is right, the cart is really right!! |
