Koetsu Urushi Sky Blue Phono Cartridge

World Class performance.  Timbrally rich, bass to die for, for music lovers only.  The Urushi has been my personal cartridge for the last eight years or so, and I don't anticipate trading it any time soon.  I've had several loyal Koetsu owners grace my shop over the years, and they all feel the same way.  The last Koetsu client I met had his for more than ten years, and was sending it back for refurbishing!

The SKY BLUE Urushi uses an Alnico magnet and has a slightly lower output (0.4mV) than the Tsugaru (0.6 mV), and is VERY cool looking, to say the lesat.  It's also using all silver wire, instead of the copper/silver wire used in the other Urushis.
