The Urushi Black takes everything that makes the Rosewood Signature special and elevates it with one of Japan’s most ancient art forms. Its rosewood body is finished in hand-applied Urushi lacquer — a tradition spanning 10,000 years — which hardens around the wood and subtly shifts its resonant frequency, contributing to the Urushi’s signature coherence and three-dimensionality. Silver-clad ultra-high-purity copper coils extract nuanced musical detail with exceptional harmonic integrity, while the boron cantilever keeps the presentation focused and fatigue-free. Reviewers consistently describe the Urushi Black as transformative — a cartridge that doesn’t just play music, but makes you feel it.
