Gold
Etsuro Urushi Gold is a flagship Moving Coil cartridge created to offer audiophiles an exceptional listening experience. Faithful to the basic Etsuro design, Gold is the result of more than 40 years of Excel Sound experience in cartridge production.
The diamond cantilever increases vibration transmission speed and reduces unwanted resonance. Its 80 μm Microline stylus contact surface follows the record groove with high precision. The magnetic circuit combines soft electromagnetic iron with a samarium-cobalt magnet for balanced, dense sound.
A 2.5 mm sapphire base stabilises the structure and reduces signal loss. The Extra Super Duraluminium A7075 body is finished with traditional Japanese 24K Gold leaf “Hon Kinpaku”, applied in cooperation with Hakuichi of Kanazawa. The specially processed pure-copper coil and all components are precisely hand-assembled by experienced Excel Sound craftsmen.
