Every audiophile music lover knows of the legendary sound of Koetsu phono cartridges from decades past. Those old enough to have experienced Sugano's Koetsus retain the memory of a musical experience unequaled. Few were privileged to own and enjoy a Koetsu. Many of the converted searched out second and third Koetsus, assuring a long, cherished relationship. Now, in analog's Golden Renaissance and through the efforts of Sugano's sons, Koetsu phono cartridges are again available. To fully appreciate Koetsu, we must know Yosiaki Sugano, artist, musician, swordsman, calligrapher, business executive and creator of the world's most renowned phono cartridges. In post war Japan, Sugano rose to prominence in one of Japan's largest industrial companies, yet continued to pursue his passions, now including hi-fi.

Koetsu Urushi Gold Moving Coil Cartridge
|
|
The Urushi’s come in 3 cosmetic finishes Gold (Wajima), Black (Tsugaru) and Vermillion.
The Gold (Wajima) finish encrusts the whole cartridge body with gold flakes and is the most difficult to produce.
The Black (Tsugaru) starts with a base piano-black finish and has bands of gold speckle along its sides.
The Vermillion is finished in a less striking reddish lacquer colour.
The Urushi cartridges are probably the most striking in the whole Koetsu lineup because it encompasses the traditional art of Japanese lacquerware in the production of the cartridge body. Even without reproducing music, the Urushi is itself, a work of art.
