EXCEL SOUND "悦郎・漆 " MC cartridge etsuro urushi

"Etsuro Lacquer" was completed through the collaboration of reliable technology, abundant experience, and lacquer processing of traditional Japan crafts.

Based on solid sapphire wood

The cartridge base, which is the heart of the cartridge, is made of 2.5mm sapphire material. The direct method, which incorporates a vibration transmission mechanism as an integral unit, thoroughly eliminates signal loss.

The stylus tip uses a "Super Microline Diamond tip" with a curvature of 80 μm on the contact surface for the sound groove of the record. It accurately traces ultra-fine sound grooves and reproduces the sound source engraved on the analog disc as it is. The cantilever is made of φ0.4mm ultra-precision sapphire pipe material, and sapphire boasts a hardness second only to diamond, and has no distortion, excellent high-speed guidance and transmission, and a clear sound.

The magnetic circuit is based on a combination of electromagnetic soft iron and samarium-cobalt magnets, and achieves magnetic characteristics that are in harmony with coil vibration. The cartridge housing and base are made of sapphire material, and the housing is lacquered, which is a traditional Japan craft, after a special strengthening treatment. When the lacquer hardens, a tough coating film that can withstand high heat is formed, and it adheres firmly to the housing, so it can suppress the squeak peculiar to duralumin. A cartridge housing cover with a lacquer and Bordeaux finish that combines the latest materials and technologies to make the most of tradition in the modern age. The lacquer used is black lacquer, which is the base, and adhesive lacquer for foil. In the part that maximizes the sense of depth, several kinds of colored silver foil filled with sulfur are torn off and pasted like a picture. The Etsuro lacquer logo is affixed with gold leaf. The stunning luster and texture of lacquer is truly a small work of art. When the craftsmanship, which has more than half a century of achievements and experience, encounters a project that aims for the supreme, analog records begin to walk in a new era.
