Koetsu Rosewood Signature Moving-Coil Cartridge, Handmade in Japan

Koetsu is one of our top 3 favorite brands of cartridges. We haven't come across a model yet that didn't perform wonderfully. 

The Rosewood Signature is no exception. Silky smooth, very detailed, and light on its feet.

This one was well cared for by the previous owner who took great care of it. It shows little signs of use under the microscope and performed beautifully in the test lab.

$5495 MSRP.

The SkyFi Testing Process for Phono Cartridges:
We start by doing a detailed physical inspection under light magnification to asses the cantilever condition, its position in the cartridge body and the condition of the suspension. We also inspect any coil wires and the output connections to make sure it hasn’t been strained. We then perform a light cleaning with specialized agents and blow it dry with compressed air.

We then perform a more detailed inspection with our Wild Heerbrugg professional microscope. From there we can asses the wear and quality of the stylus and determine how much use it has had and if there are any mechanical issues. We can also identify if it needs further cleaning or care.

We then move the cartridge to a digital microscope where we take photo os the cantilever for future reference.

We then move to the test bench where we can check for continuity of each channel and resistance.

On certain cartridges and it the technician feels necessary we install the unit on a turntable and run a few test records to ascertain tacking ability, distortion and compliance.
