JICO SETO-HORI REMODEL MC CARTRIDGE 2.0MV OUTPUT
- High-Output Moving Coil (HOMC) cartrdigeJico's versatility and artistry are showcased in the Seto-Hori Remodel - from the breath-taking wooden case to the cartridge and its dramatic headshell. All are fused and make the statement that Jico and Seto-Hori are truly extraordinary in their artistry and craftsmanship. Pictures state what musical delight awaits. The Seto-Hori Remodel is beautiful externally, internally, and musically.
We can personally attest that the Seto-Hori Remodel is the best High Output MC (HOMC) cartridge that we have had the pleasure of auditioning. It is probably the best HOMC cartridge in the world! Quite possibly a contender for the best MC cartridge too. A professional reviewer with incontrovertible reputation, expertise, and access to numerous MC cartridges would have to evaluate our hypothesis of the Seto-Hori to ascertain its firmament within world-class MC cartridges.

The Seto-Hori is not for everyone. It is for the few who seek the best in their endeavors, in themselves, and in whatever they do.
Note: The cartridge is pre-installed in a standard half-inch mount type headshell. The total weight is approximately 27.62g. It is the responsibility of the buyer to check the capacity of the tonearm and their audio system to accommodate the Seto-Hori when making a purchase.
