The Etsuro Gold represents the top of the MC cartridge models and has been created to provide supreme sensation to the audiophiles around the world. Faithful to the basic engineering, the Etsuro Gold has absorbed over 40years of cartridge manufacturing experience of Excel Sound.

Etsuro Gold model features the diamond cantilever and due to the diamond’s hardness characteristics, the vibration transmittance speed can be increased to improve the sound quality. At the same time, unnecessary resonance is reduced to emphasize the transparency of the reproduced sound.

The Bordeaux uses the stylus with the contact surface of 80μm「Super micro line diamond chip, which accurately traces the ultra-precise groove. This special stylus is aimed to play the sound recorded on the record in its true colors.

The Cobalt Blue uses the Microline tip stylus possessing ideal curvature of 80μm contact surface against the record groove. This contact surface achieved a superior reproduction characteristic. Cobalt Blue has been created to naturally reproduce the sound cut on the record.

Ultra-precise Sapphire pipe material has been introduced for the cantilever. The remarkable hardness of the sapphire will help reduce distortions and is also superb in the transmission of high speed vibration to create an increasingly clear sound.

Etsuro Gin-nezu (Silver Gray) is the newest model and the fourth release in the Etsuro series.
Positioned as the most accessible entry in the lineup, it fully inherits Etsuro’s design philosophy and meticulous craftsmanship, delivering musical performance that comfortably exceeds expectations for its class.
It brings true high-end sound closer, making the Etsuro experience more easily within reach—without compromise. Design and Signature Color“Gin-nezu” (Silver Gray) is one of Japan’s traditional colors. Its calm gray tone, enhanced with a subtle silver sheen, representing the strength and elegance that reside within stillness. This color symbolizes the sonic character of the model—more than just an exterior finish, it reflects the product’s design philosophy and musical expression.

The core part of the transformer is installed with “EX Type” 78% permalloy core having superb inductance property, achieving to create a wide performance range. Likewise, the shield case chose to use the same material in order to aim for the decrease in the noise components. “Damping material, Sorbothane” carrying high vibration absorbing characteristics located on the transformer support, effectively works to improve the distortions of the sound.

The outer base and aluminum housing applied by the Japanese traditional craft “URUSHI・漆” lacquering presents a beautiful shine and texture art, which also contributes to the overall rigidity. Each piece is hand lacquered by the traditional craftsmen creating an artistic work of art.
