Takumi Kuro MC Phono Cartridge
The Kuro introduces a boron cantilever and nude elliptical stylus, improving tracing accuracy and transient definition while maintaining a balanced tonal core.
Its low-impedance design ensures fast response and low noise.

Behaviour & character
With its lighter, stiffer cantilever and sharper stylus, the Kuro extracts more low-level detail and stereo depth.
Transient edges become cleaner, and complex harmonic textures are easier to follow.
It retains the musical ease of the Aka but adds greater focus, speed, and image stability, especially at high frequencies.
