Koetsu Urushi Gold

For sale is a fully rebuilt as new (unused since rebuilding) rare Koetsu design – now in new condition - a Koetsu Urushi Gold cartridge, rebuilt by Peter Ledermann of Soundsmith fame. Peter is world renown for designing and manufacturing some of the world’s finest and most unique cartridges as owner and chief engineer of Soundsmith. He has also been rebuilding cartridges for more than 50 years, and has the best reputation around for doing that microscopic engineering work.

This unit has a new Boron (original material) cantilever and new ultra-low mass Contact Line stylus as well as a new suspension and damping system, tuned by Mr. Ledermann. He reports this fully rebuilt design to retain the sweetness of a Koetsu, while allowing unimpeded fine detail, wide soundstage and no sibilance even on the most challenging of his test records. Like all of his work, it is fully warrantied against defects for ONE full year.  And yes, once you wear it out, he will rebuild it for you again and again.    

Now is your chance to own a classic, fully warrantied and rare Koetsu that has been worked on by one of the world’s foremost cartridge engineers.
