Koetsu Rosewood Signature - Koetsu Rosewood Signature MC Cartridge, Samarium Cobalt Magnet 6N Purity Copper Coil, Original $7995

From my Japanese friend who is a retired Koetsu engineer and cartridge collector.

Koetsu Rosewood Signature MC Moving Coil Stereo Phono Cartridge.

This is a treasured piece, in pristine condition, with superb sound quality, exquisite craftsmanship, rich detail, excellent speed, tight and powerful mid-bass, wide dynamic range, sweet and pleasing sound, a still-sharp stylus, and the cantilever and suspension system are also in excellent condition. It has been used for less than 250 hours.

Hand-Carved Body, Closely Matched Core and Coil Set Distinguish Koetsu Rosewood Signature Cartridge: Handcrafted Analog Instrument Is the Definition of "Refined"

The Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge epitomizes the very definitions of the term "refined." As in "impurities or unwanted elements having been removed by processing." Or, "elegant and cultured in appearance, manner, or taste." And "developed and improved so as to be precise and subtle." The Absolute Sound Product of the Year Award-winning Rosewood Signature is all of these and more, a hand-crafted instrument that remains on the most intimate terms with the microdetails and soulfulness in every one of your vinyl LPs. Similar in construction to its sister cartridge, Rosewood Standard (RED), Rosewood Signature features a more closely matched core and coil set that account for its more discriminating, fastidious performance. Boasting six-nines copper (99.9999% pure), special magnetic materials, and a hand-carved rosewood body that provide both a discerning physical makeup and selective sonic qualities claimed by no other manufacturer's cartridges, Rosewood Signature also offers Koetsu's signature (no pun intended) tonalities, delicious smoothness, and involving midrange. And don't worry – we won't judge you if you swoon every time Rosewood Signature's precision-ground stylus hits a record's groove. Welcome to analog paradise.

“This is one of the easiest recommendations I’ve ever made, in essence a gift for the music lover who would like to kick back at the end of a long day and just enjoy the music.”
