When you think of high-end record cartridges, the image that comes to mind is that of products made with sapphire.
At Exclusive Audio, we are pleased to announce that the Etsuro brothers from Excel Sound, a long-established analog cartridge company, have added a new analog reluxeXCELLENT 1 (Excellent 1)EX1 for short, we are now offering three products.
They are all top quality products with distinctive features. Yet,EX1I have not yet heard the EX1, but I hear that its sound is far removed from the thick, dense sound of the KOI-OTO cartridge.
"Etsuro Lacquer."and "Etsuro Urushi" COBALT BLUEis the culmination of 50 years of EXCEL SOUND's history, and is the result of a fusion of the latest technology and traditional craftsmanship to create an unparalleled, beautifully flowing MC cartridge.
The combination of sapphire cantilever, lightweight and high-strength duralumin, which was used in the Zero fighter, and strong lacquer coating.
Vs.Analog Relax EX1is a combination of selected quince, a solid wood.
The EX1 takes more than a month for delivery, but Etsuro can deliver it in around a week for this kind of high-end product, which is very gratifying.
