Koetsu Rosewood Standard MC Cartridge

The Koetsu Rosewood Standard is the Japanese manufacturer's second model. The body is made of untreated rosewood, but its other features take their inspiration from the Koetsu Rosewood Signature. For example, its coils have a high purity copper conductor, the magnetic circuit uses powerful samarium cobalt magnets. The stylus is fitted to a boron cantilever.

The Koetsu Black is one of the best cartridges in its range, and is a great introduction to the brand for anyone looking to dip their toes (or ears!) into the Koetsu pool.
