KOETSU BLACK GOLDLINE PHONO CARTRIDGE
Ships to US only
Throughout time, the Koetsu Black has maintained its dual role as Koetsu's entry-level model and Koetsu's best-known cartridge. In 2002, the torch was passed from Yoshiaki Sugano, the founder of Koetsu, to his son, Fumihiko Sugano - who was especially trained to take over. Thus the Koetsu Black's legacy continues and endures. Reviewers and listeners marvel and kvell the Koetsu Black as relevant and exceptional.
