Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum Phono Cartridge

KOETSU ROSEWOOD SIGNATURE PLATINUM PHONO CARTRIDGE
- retipped by groovetickler. See narrative below.

The Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum is a remarkable cartridge. It changes your expectations of what a cartridge can do as it lifts the performance of the entire system's sound quality. It does an exceptional job of melding lushness, harmonic fullness, sweetness, and musicality with today's quest for linearity, extension, air, focus, palpability, and openness. Once you experience this celestial level of natural sound quality reproduction, there is no going back.

Note: This particular unit is brand new and unused. The customer upon receipt contacted us and complained that the cartridge was a missing the stylus tip and requested its return. Upon inspection, we found the claim to be authentic. The tip had indeed fallen off during shipment. We have seen this occur with boron cantlevered styli. In the interin, we kept the cartridge in our vault and only recently decided to have it retipped. By groovetickler, one of the best retippers in the country. Thus also, its fetching price.
