Its lacquered aged rosewood body offers less mass than Koetsu’s stone-body cartridges while preserving the warmth, beauty, and natural resonance control that have long made the Rosewood models central to the Koetsu line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the Rosewood Signature Platinum uses rare platinum magnets and silver-plated 6N copper coils, parts usually reserved for Koetsu’s stone-body cartridges. It is a compelling choice for listeners drawn to Koetsu’s platinum models but who require a cartridge with less mass or simply prefer the look of rosewood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 0.3 mV output, 12.4 g net weight, and a recommended tracking force of 1.8 g–2 g, the Rosewood Signature Platinum is intended for serious analog systems with a tonearm, phonostage, and setup capable of realizing what a Koetsu cartridge can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Brand\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoetsu phono cartridges trace their lineage to Yosiaki Sugano, an artist, musician, calligrapher, swordsman, and business executive whose passions shaped one of analog audio’s most revered names. Inspired by the 17th-century Japanese artist Honami Koetsu, Sugano began experimenting with phono cartridges in the 1970s, combining a keen ear with an artist’s sensitivity to materials, proportion, and craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoetsu cartridges remain deeply personal, handbuilt creations, produced in limited quantities by the Sugano family. Their construction draws on carefully chosen materials and specialized craft, from ultra-pure conductors and precisely controlled magnetic parts to hand-carved wood, lacquer, and stone bodies. The result is a cartridge line valued not only for technical refinement, but for a distinctive musical character that has made Koetsu a lasting reference in high-end analog playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody:\u003c\/b\u003e Lacquered aged rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Moving Coil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoil Wiring:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver-plated copper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMagnet:\u003c\/b\u003e Platinum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/b\u003e Boron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3 mV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Tracking Force:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.8 g–2 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Load:\u003c\/b\u003e 75 Ω–500 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.4 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koetsu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53440974454968,"sku":"ROSESIG","price":8695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/1bd839934237b735436382d7de083a7a.jpg?v=1583877256","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.com\/products\/koetsu-rosewood-signature","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
