It is perceived that the greatest improvement in sound quality moving through the Koetsu range is the shift from the Samarium Cobalt to the Platinum magnet system. The Rosewood Signature Platinum combines the unique characteristics of a natural Rosewood body with a state-of-the-art platinum magnet system and is one of the most popular cartridges in the range.

Sublime Ease, Liquidity, Clarity, Balance & Focus. The Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum represents the zenith of analog sound. These reverential musical instruments are all about musical transcendence and transformation. Drop the stylus into the groove and connect with the flow of the music and the emotion in the artist’s message. You forget about all the audiophile terminology & convention. All that’s left behind is music distinguished with utmost ease, liquidity, vibrancy, clarity, responsiveness, and focus. The kind that leaves you wondering just how much detail, information, and texture you’ve missed on records you’ve heard hundreds of times.
