Takumi Kin MC Phono Cartridge
The Kin employs a ruby cantilever for superior rigidity and low resonance, paired with the same fine-elliptical stylus geometry as the Shiro.
It represents a step toward the most refined mechanical precision.

Behaviour & character
The ruby cantilever gives the Kin its distinct sense of calm precision.
Low-level dynamics are clearly rendered, with black backgrounds and well-defined spatial cues.
The soundstage opens wider, bass lines gain grip, and high frequencies display a clean, silken texture.
The Kin is both analytical and musical — revealing yet never clinical.
