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 Shiro MC
Technical concept:
The Shiro refines the concept further with a 6N OCC coil structure and a nude fine-elliptical stylus on a boron cantilever. This combination delivers increased resolution and tonal purity.
Behaviour & character:
The Shiro retrieves fine inner detail and air while keeping the Takumi sense of calm and order. Its fine-elliptical diamond reads delicate modulations with minimal groove wear. Voices gain texture and space; cymbals and strings are reproduced with natural extension, free from harshness. The overall impression is open, transparent, and effortlessly balanced.
