Takumi Shiro MC

The Takumi Shiro advances the Takumi cartridge line with refined materials and enhanced precision, delivering greater resolution and tonal purity. It features a boron cantilever paired with a nude fine-elliptical stylus, designed to extract more detail while maintaining a smooth and balanced sound.

The upgraded 6N OCC coil structure improves signal purity and reduces distortion, allowing for a more transparent and natural presentation. Its low-impedance design ensures fast response and compatibility with a wide range of MC phono stages.

The fine-elliptical stylus reads delicate groove information with high accuracy while minimizing record wear. This results in improved retrieval of micro-detail, expanded soundstage and a more open, airy presentation.

Voices gain texture and space, while high frequencies such as cymbals and strings are reproduced with natural extension and without harshness. The Shiro maintains a calm, controlled character with excellent balance across the entire frequency range.
