Koetsu Tigereye
The Koetsu Tigereye represents the pinnacle of Koetsu cartridge design. Its stone body combines rare natural beauty with the careful craftsmanship that defines the Koetsu name.
Koetsu machines the body from a solid block of high-quality stone. Each block receives careful selection for its natural grain and character. The company then polishes the stone to a beautiful, fine finish.
Distinctive Tigereye Stone
The Tigereye stone body gives this cartridge its striking appearance. Natural patterns run through each piece of stone. As a result, every cartridge has its own unique character.
The solid stone body also provides a firm foundation for the cartridge’s internal generator. Koetsu combines this natural material with precise construction and careful component selection.
Rare Materials Inside
Koetsu uses only tightly matched coils and cores inside its stone-body cartridges. The Tigereye Platinum features silverplated copper coil wiring and a rare platinum magnet.
These carefully selected materials help create the refined and ethereal sound that has made Koetsu famous. Furthermore, the design keeps the presentation smooth, natural and highly musical.
Harmonious and Cohesive
The Tigereye Platinum does more than reveal individual details. It keeps the entire performance connected. Voices retain their natural character. Instruments sound rich and expressive. At the same time, subtle musical information remains easy to follow.
The result feels smooth and effortless. You can explore the smallest details without losing sight of the complete performance.
Hi-Fi+ described the result as “harmonious and cohesive”. The review also praised the way the music unfolds. It gives the listener more time to explore the individual strands that form the whole.
