Offering a Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge. This particular cartridge was sent to Van Den Hul for repair, as per William Van Den Huls recent communication with me. This is one of the most prestigious and sought after cartridges available! New, this gem sells for $5,495.00. I tested the cartridge recently, and it produced sound, and tracked properly. It is a Moving Coil cartridge that will require step up transformer, or Pre Amp to produce the sound its capable of!NOTE: I removed this cartridge from a VPI HW19 which was owned by a well known hifi and recording gear reviewer. This turntable was in his living room, and was his main turntable. It had 2 arms. One being a Rabco tangential other being a Technics 9 arm. The latter had this Koetsu Rosewood Signature. I wasnt able to authenticate the number of hours it was used. I did test and it produced a crisp sound and tracked properly. I have it priced low enough so that a buyer can have it re-tipped at some point. VPI Industries in New Jersey does excellent work.NOTE: Does not include original box, manual or paperwork.

Description This is a platinum magnet model of Rosewood Signature produced during the time of the previous generation, Yoshinobu Kanno. The wooden box has the words Hachijuni Oji'' (probably made when Mr. Yoshinobu was 82 years old, that is, around 1989), which is different from the usual type, and the back side has the words PTW'' (Platinum Wood). What does it mean?) can be seen. At the time of this listing, we also played the record for several hours to confirm operation. It traced normally, sound was coming out normally from both channels, and there seemed to be no particular problems. It seems that the magnet, cantilever, needle tip, etc. have never been replaced. However, it is a used item that has been used for many years, so if you are looking for perfect condition down to the smallest detail, please refrain from buying this item. It seems that Koetsu products will become difficult to obtain in the future, so the prices may go up in the future.

Description Only used a few times. This product is a platinum magnet model of the Rosewood Signature produced during the time of the previous generation, Yoshinobu Kanno. On the wooden box, you can see the words PTW (does this mean platinum wood?) written by Koetsu Yajuni (I think this means that Yoshinobu was 82 years old, which means it was made around 1989). . The same model was obtained in consecutive numbers, and this one was basically kept as a spare without being used (however, it seems that he had test driven it several times in the past to check the damper, etc.) . Before putting this up for sale, I played the record for several hours just to make sure it worked. Tracing was normal, sound was coming out normally from both channels, and there seemed to be no particular problems. However, we have not measured them, and this is just what we have heard, so we cannot guarantee them. Also, this is a kept item that is close to unused and is different from an unused item, so please refrain from purchasing this item if you are looking for it to be in perfect condition down to the last detail. Koetsu products are likely to become more difficult to obtain in the future, so prices may rise in the future. If you are an enthusiast/collector, please consider this opportunity.
