He changed the coils of the Vermillion, so the cartridge has only half of the output and a lower impedance than the other models in the Urushi range, which creates quite a sonic difference. The Vermillion has improved resolution and inner dynamics. It has been described as having a lighter sound, stunning with female voices in particular. The Vermilion is one of the most talked about Koetsu models, a perennial favourite due to its organic, tonally rich, seductive sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereophile, Michael Fremer, 2008\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the musicians dig into the viola da gamba and tenorbratsche, the warmth and sheer physicality produced by the Vermillion was almost overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stereophile.com\/content\/koetsu-urushi-mc-phono-cartridge-koetsu-urushi-vermillion-january-2008\"\u003eRead Review\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHifiCritic, Martin Colloms, 2011\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis foot-tapper of a cartridge unquestionably times well, yet it also sounds very neutral and sophisticated in the right system, with a notably clean treble.
