Koetsu Rosewood Signature

Offering a Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge. This particular cartridge was sent to Van Den Hul for repair, as per William Van Den Hul's recent communication with me. 

This is one of the most prestigious and sought after cartridges available! New, this gem sells for $5,495.00. 

I tested the cartridge recently, and it produced sound, and tracked properly. It is a Moving Coil cartridge that will require step up transformer, or Pre Amp to produce the sound it's capable of!

NOTE: I removed this cartridge from a VPI HW19 which was owned by a well known hifi and recording gear reviewer. This turntable was in his living room, and was his main turntable. It had 2 arms. One being a Rabco tangential other being a Technics 9" arm. The latter had this Koetsu Rosewood Signature. I wasn't able to authenticate the number of hours it was used. I did test and it produced a crisp sound and tracked properly. 

I have it priced low enough so that a buyer can have it re-tipped at some point. VPI Industries in New Jersey does excellent work. They charge $400 for a re-tip

NOTE: Does not include original box, manual or paperwork.
