Etsuro Urushi MC cartridge
We're pleased to announce the UK launch of a new high end cartridge from Japan. The Etsuro Urushi features a super fine line (80u) diamond mounted in a sapphire cantilever. The copper wound coils are suspended in a field generated by a Samarium Cobalt magnet. The mounting plate is 2.5mm sapphire.
The Duralumin body is handcoated in Urushi lacquer, work being undertaken by the specialists Etsuro. It gives the cartridge a gorgeous jewel like appearance, that coating itself being a miniature work of art.

It should be at the upcoming Scalford show, probably in the Colman room and will be available from Unique Audio in Herts

Price to be finalised but probably equivalent to the $10K figure being shown in other countries.
