Audioarcan - Our Favorite Moving Coil Cartridge. The Etsuro Urushi cartridges are offered by Excel from Japan that also own the Hana line. We spent a few years trying many of the highly recommended cartridges from a variety of manufactures. When a quality TT & Tonearm were used with a premium phono stage preamp the Etsuro Urushi Cobalt Blue just sang. For our purposes we used a Pure Fidelity Horizon table with the Origin Live Enterprize Tonearm with the Icon Audio PS3 MKII Signature tube phono preamp. We also auditioned the Cobalt Blue with the Graham Slee Accession M with Elevator SUT, Allnic AUT 8000 SUT, EAR MC4 SUT and Ikeda 201 SUT. In each case the Etsuro Urushi Cobalt Blue cartridge was outstanding and on a short list of the best we have heard. The Etsuro Urushi line also have the Bourdeaux and Gold cartridges which offer a bit more of the wonderful detail, warmth and balance that the Cobalt Blue delivers.
