I have never heard a Koetsu but a few people have told me the Purple Heart is a slight shift more towards analytical than Koetsu but not as far as a Lyra

Looking forward to your impressions as you get some run in time on the new cartridge.

Now might be the time to consider a phono stage upgrade. A C 1100 is calling your name!

Tom I have decided to keep my C2300 and upgrade the tubes in the MC section.

I am listening to my C2300 as I write this. We are in Wisconsin at our lake home. I am always amazed at the C2300 MC 275V combination. Truly a fine sounding set of electronics.

Of course I was just busting your chops.

Tom

Ha man this sucks, I can totally relate.
A while back I had bought a 2015 Taylor 810 Limited guitar and on day one, while taking it out of the case, put a 1 inch gash on the body....
