Takumi Moving Coil Cartridge Series
The Takumi range of moving-coil cartridges is designed and hand-assembled with one clear purpose: to extract music from the groove with precision, stability, and natural tonality.
Each model follows the same core architecture - a rigid generator with square OCC coil formers, finely polished diamond stylus, and mechanically stable cantilever - yet each expresses a distinct character through its materials and geometry.
From the musical ease of the Aka to the refined clarity of the Myo, every cartridge maintains the same philosophy: quiet tracking, linear phase behaviour, and a direct, uncoloured connection to the recorded performance.
Takumi Myo MC
Technical concept:
The Myo stands at the top of the Takumi range. Its sapphire cantilever combines high rigidity with controlled damping, while the nude fine-elliptical diamond and 6N OCC generator reach beyond 28 kHz with superb channel symmetry.
Every part is tuned for balance, silence, and effortless retrieval of musical detail.
Behaviour & character:
The Myo’s sapphire structure brings exceptional tonal purity and micro-resolution. It traces inner-groove information with microscopic precision, maintaining coherence even in complex passages. The tonal balance is neutral yet luminous: bass is firm and deep, midrange textures are pure and layered, and treble extends effortlessly with no trace of hardness. The result is a sense of quiet authority and spatial depth — the natural conclusion of the Takumi design philosophy.
