Hi Anthony
You are right. Currently I am not owning any Koetsu. Many years since I owned and sold A Koetsu Black.
I have had Expert Stylus retipping 3 mc carts for me. 2 of them with the topline service with ruby cantilever and Paratrace stylus. And on one of them they only changed the stylus to the Paratrace Diamond and kept the original cantilever.
With all 3 carts I get the best result with the tonearm absolutely level.
I must say my impression of the Expert Stylus Co is that they have great knowledge. They first make a thorough examination of the cart. So you receive the diagnose and their suggestion of what they feel is the best repair for your cart. In each case I did follow their advise.
You receive the cartridge back with a test report stating tracking ability.
I`m not sure I could detect a Paratrace stylus from a ML or Shibata since there is many other factors in a cartridge. But I think there is very clear improvement in tracking and resolution going from the standard cantilever/diamond to the Paratrace diamond.
I have a collection of MM cart there some of them have been upgraded with the SAS / Shibata stylus assembly from Jico. In each case also a considerable improvement. I think it is easy hearing the improvement going from conical to elliptic to high end stylus like ML/FG/Replicant/Shibata. But I think I would have difficulty distinguishing the last 4 diamond types.....
