Koetsu Blue Lace Agate

Blue stones are among nature’s scarcest, so it’s no surprise that the one of a kind Blue Lace Agate cartridge with its energy amplifying Agate Onyx body, produces unforgettably inimitable experiences from vinyl grooves.

Koetsu Blue Lace Agate

A Blue Lace Agate body features a hardness and rigidity that make a cartridge a superior tracker.

Couple this with silver-clad six-nines copper wiring, rare platinum magnets, and a precision ground stylus and the result is an opulent cartridge that is the apex of musical expressiveness.

It’s almost analogue sorcery!

The pinnacle of cartridge design can be found in a Koetsu stone body.

The body is machined from a block of high quality stone.

Each block is carefully selected for natural grain and polished to a very fine finish.

Internally, only the most tightly matched silver sheathed copper coils and cores are used.

Rare platinum magnets allow the stone body cartridges to fully create the ethereal sound on which Koetsu has earned its reputation.

“The end result is harmonious and cohesive, and the music unfolds in a way that gives you more time to listen – more time to unravel the individual strands that form part of the whole.” Hi-Fi+

Koetsu History

Named in honor of the Japanese artist Honami Koetsu, the company was started by Yoshiaki Sugano. A boxer, artist, sword maker and automotive executive, Sugano-san was a true renaissance man. His love of western classical music led him on a journey to improve the musicality of common phono cartridges. Through his experimentation he pioneered the use of high purity materials such as 6N copper and rare platinum iron magnets. For more than thirty-years, Koetsu has masterfully blended the highest purity technical materials with ones of natural beauty to create the most sought after cartridges in the world. Sugano-San's legacy is carried on by his son Fumihiko who apprenticed under his father to become a master cartridge maker. Every Koetsu cartridge is hand made in Japan and inherently limited in nature These sonic and visual masterpieces are available in limited quantities and are offered by only the most knowledgable audio retailers
