The return of Kisiki is a blessing to analog enthusiasts world wide. To be able to get this type of old world quality at this price is a bargain in the sometimes overpriced world of highend audio.
The Kiseki Blue N.S. is the first “new style” Kiseki cartridge ever. The typical, but shorter, Kiseki body is machined out of solid aluminium, the motor is built from best available parts today. Two years of experimenting, testing all possible choices of materials and techniques to result in a better new Kiseki Blue. A Kiseki Blue which surpasses the results of the original Kiseki Blue from the 80′s ánd of the more recent Kiseki Blue N.O.S. Only then we felt we had a reason to produce this Kiseki Blue N.S.
